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 2015, 232 min (with two intermissions). Directed by William Kentridge. Starring: Marlis Petersen, Susan Graham, Daniel Brenna. In German. William Kentridge returns to the Met for his first new production since the company premiere of The Nose, which caused a sensation when it opened in 2010.

Marlis Petersen reprises her acclaimed interpretation of the title role, with Susan Graham as the Countess Geschwitz, one of Lulu’s most devoted admirers, and Daniel Brenna, Paul Groves, John Reuter, and Franz Grundheber among the men who fall victim to her charms.
