We are delighted to recommend to our audience the NCPA Opera “La Fanciulla del West” , which will be held on August 20- 25th at the NCPA Beijing.
Based on David Belasco’s drama “The Girl of the Golden West”, “La Fanciulla del West” has been considered an oddity in Puccini’s work, the only lyrical opera set among roughneck gold miners in the American west, As Madama Butterfly and Turandot testified before, he liked stories about exoticism. Musically, it also represented a change of direction, with the fast-paced narrative accompanied by continuous music, which is only rarely interrupted for arias.
The NCPA production will unveil the China premiere of “La Fanciulla del West”, under the direction of Thaddeus Strassberger, while Andrea Battistoni takes the baton. The lead lineup is featured by Amarilli Nizza, Marco Berti and Claudio Sgura.
