Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West LIVE
American soprano Deborah Voigt appears as Minnie, the sultry, pistol-packing saloon keeper in the Metropolitan Opera’s big-screen broadcast Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West LIVE. Set in a California mining town in the 1850s, the story of The Girl from the West follows Minnie as she deals with card sharks, Mexican bandits, Wells Fargo agents, gold-hungry miners and a crowd determined to hang her lover — all while hitting high notes.
