Puccini’s exhilarating drama of the Wild West returns in a new staging by Richard Jones, marking the
company’s first new production of La Fanciulla del West in more than 30 years. Soprano Sondra
Radvanovsky makes her role debut as 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 justice—and win Minnie for himself. Maestro Keri-Lynn Wilson takes the podium
to conduct one of opera’s most action-packed adventures, live from the Met stage to cinemas worldwide.
