Notes and Editorial Reviews

Also available on Blu-ray

Deborah Voigt stars in the title role of Puccini's Wild West opera - in a spectacular performance seen live in cinemas worldwide as part of the Metropolitan Opera "Live in HD" series.

Giancarlo del Monaco's richly authentic production, with spectacular sets by Michael Scott, brings the Wild West to the Met stage with a panorama of colorful characters and live horses!

The DVD includes 25 minutes of bonus material: Introductions by Sondra Radvanovsky, Interviews with Deborah Voigt and Marcello Giordani, Animals onstage, B.H. Barry, "Fanciulla" at the Met and Nicola Luisotti, Deborah Voigt and Jim Read more Blumenfeld, Gary Dietrich and Ray Menard, Lucio Gallo and Dwayne Croft.

“Thanks in large part to the stylish, nuanced and sensitive conducting of Nicola Luisotti, the score emerged as arguably Puccini's most subtly written and boldly modern music." – The New York Times

“I cannot think of a soprano who can sing any better this demanding role. What wins you over is Voigt's deep feeling for the character." – The New York Times
