| If there is a reason why La Fanciulla del West is performed less often than other major works in the Puccini oeuvre, it has nothing to do with the dramatic interest of the work or the quality of the music, and everything to do with the demands of staging. Three tremendous sets, one for each act requiring long intervals for setting-up, and a big chorus, make it a heavy ask: but the result in this Royal Opera production is a profoundly satisfying one. / Review |
