La Fanciulla del West

Wednesday, Jul 30, 6:30 pm (originally transmitted January 8, 2011)

The Metropolitan Opera is pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in Summer Encores – a series of six past Live in HD performances at bargain prices.

Puccini’s musical vision of the American West is vividly brought to life in the Met’s atmospheric production. Deborah Voigt is Minnie, the “girl of the golden west” and owner of a bar in a Californian mining camp. Marcello Giordani sings Dick Johnson, the bandit-turned-lover hunted by the cynical sheriff Jack Rance (Lucio Gallo), who wants Minnie for himself. Complete with whiskey-drinking cowboys, gunplay, a poker game, and a snowstorm, La Fanciulla del West is Puccini at his most colorful.

Lower ticket prices in the summer! Tickets (available in advance): $15 adults, $13 seniors , $11 students, with $2 off for Lincoln Theatre Members. A great time for audiences of all ages and first-time opera-goers to attend.
