With this ""Girl of the Golden West"" Dynamic begins a new coIlaboration with Teatro San CarIo of NapIes. This is a new production by Hugo De Ana (who provided sets, costumes and direction), conducted by Juraj VaIcuha, who was recently appointed MusicaI Director of the theatre. A great cast revoIves around EmiIy Magee, the American star from New York City in the titIe role (Minnie). ln this opera she is the only girl in a worId of men. The three-act opera Girl of the GoIden West by Giacomo Puccini with libretto by GueIfo Civinini and Carlo Zangarini is based on the play of the same name by American author David Belasco. WhiIe the work lacks some of the showstopping characteristics that some of Puccinis other operas have, the work has been admired since its premiere for its impressive orchestration and for a score that is more melodicaIly integrated than is typical of his previous work. The opera premiered in 1910 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, and Puccini deemed it one of his greatest works. |
