La Fanciulla del West

Operatic version of a spaghetti-western, and unusual in Puccini's output - the hero and heroine are both still alive at the end! Set during the California Gold Rush, this tells the story of the homesick miners, saloon keeper Minnie, and a mysterious visitor to the camp, who might be the notorious bandit, Ramirrez. When Minnie falls for the stranger, Sheriff Rance becomes jealous, and a game of poker will seal someone's fate.
