Met Opera in HD: Puccini’s The Girl of the Golden West

GTMF donors at the Guarantor level and above get early access on September 29. Ticket sales open to the public on Thursday, October 1 at 9 AM.

Puccini’s exhilarating drama of the Wild West returns in a new staging by celebrated British director Richard Jones, marking the company’s first new production of The Girl of the Golden West (La Fanciulla del West, in the original Italian) in more than 30 years.

Soprano Vida Miknevičiūtė makes an important Met debut as the larger-than-life Minnie, the tough tavern owner with a heart of gold who finds love when she least expects it. Tenor SeokJong Baek is the dashing bandit who rambles into the remote California mining town to steal her heart, opposite baritone Christopher Maltman as the lawman determined to deliver rough justice — and win Minnie for himself. Maestro Keri-Lynn Wilson takes the podium to conduct one of opera’s most action-packed adventures.

The Grand Teton Music Festival presents this live cinema transmission as part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.
