Next season I’m excited for La fanciulla del West

I’m looking forward to the Met’s new production of Puccini’s La fanciulla del West.

Puccini’s melancholic story of nostalgia and flawed heroes has always been a favorite of mine. While it would have been nice to see Sondra Radvanovsky in the title role, Vida Miknevičiūtė’s house debut combined with a powerful Christopher Maltman should make for a great experience.
