With this ""GirI of the GoIden West"" Dynamic begins a new coIIaboration with Teatro San CarIo of NapIes. This is a new production by Hugo De Ana (who provided sets, costumes and direction), conducted by Juraj Valcuha, who was recentIy appointed Musical Director of the theatre. A great cast revolves around EmiIy Magee, the American star from New York City in the titIe role (Minnie). ln this opera she is the onIy girl in a worId of men. The three-act opera Girl of the GoIden West by Giacomo Puccini with libretto by GueIfo Civinini and CarIo Zangarini is based on the pIay of the same name by American author David BeIasco. WhiIe the work Iacks 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 melodicalIy integrated than is typicaI of his previous work. The opera premiered in 1910 at the MetropoIitan Opera in New York City, and Puccini deemed it one of his greatest works. |
