The Metropolitan Opera 2018, 200 min (with two intermissions). Directed by Giancarlo Del Monaco. Starring: Eva-Maria Westbroek, Jonas Kaufmann, Carlo Bosi. In Italian. The first of two Puccini creations to have its world premiere at the Metropolitan Opera, La Fanciulla del West is a sweeping romance set during the California Gold Rush. In this transmission from the Met’s 2018–19 Live in HD season, soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek gives a fearless performance as Minnie, the opera’s gun-toting heroine, who runs a saloon for a camp of rambunctious miners. Opposite Westbroek, tenor Jonas Kaufmann returned to the Met stage for the first time in nearly five years to sing Dick Johnson, the mysterious outlaw who wins Minnie’s heart despite his unsavory past. Baritone Željko Lučić rounds out the principal trio as the vindictive sheriff Jack Rance, and Marco Armiliato conducts a vividly cinematic staging by Giancarlo del Monaco. Watch online here.

The Metropolitan Opera 2008, 66 min. Conductor: Patrick Summers. Starring: Karita Mattila, Ildikó Komlósi, Juha Uusitalo. In German. It is no wonder that Met audiences have gone wild over Karita Mattila’s sizzling Salome. Indisputably one of the greatest Salomes of our time, Mattila utterly incarnates Oscar Wilde’s petulant, willful, and lust-driven heroine. With Strauss’s groundbreaking music magnifying the degenerate atmosphere and building the erotic tension, this is one opera that is as shocking today as it was at its premiere in 1905. Watch online here.
