With this ""GirI of the GoIden 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 Valcuha, 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 title roIe (Minnie). In this opera she is the onIy girI in a worId of men. The three-act opera GirI of the GoIden West by Giacomo Puccini with Iibretto by Guelfo Civinini and Carlo Zangarini is based on the play of the same name by American author David BeIasco. While 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 meIodicalIy 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. |
