Puccini, La Fanciulla del West DVD/BLURAY

Opera in three Acts
Libretto by Guelfo Civinini and Carlo Zangarini
from the drama "The girl of the Golden West" by David Belasco

Triumphantly premiered at New York’s Metropolitan Opera on
10th December 1910, La fanciulla del West brought Puccini huge
international success, even though the opera was never to attain
the popularity of La bohème, Madama Butterfly and Tosca.
It was Puccini’s first important attempt to free himself from
the traditional patterns of operatic dramaturgy, making use of
surprisingly modern musical language, as recent scholars have
duly pointed out.
This recording documents the production staged at the Teatro
San Carlo in Naples at the opening of the 2018 season, with
Hugo de Ana as director and set designer, and Juraj Valčuha as
conductor, both praised by audiences and critics alike.
