Set during the California Gold Rush, Minnie, the gun-slinging tavern owner with a heart of gold, finds love in the arms of a dashing outlaw. Celebrated British director Richard Jones brings a new production of Puccini’s exhilarating drama of the Wild West to the Met, which marks the company’s first new staging of La Fanciulla del West in more than 30 years. Soprano Vida Miknevičiūtė makes an important Met debut as Minnie, starring alongside tenor SeokJong Baek as Dick Johnson.
