La fanciulla del West

[jglass54]

Call me American, but I prefer a production that is actually set at the time of the 1849 gold rush. See the operaaustralia page on here to view a production that is traditional in its setting, but innovative in how it presents that setting. Why is Minnie transformed into a Hollywood movie goddess at the end? I understand the dollars coming down as representing the "get rich" culture of the US, but why at the end when the lovers are leaving California and the gold rush?

I was lucky enough to see her at Covent Garden with Jose Cura - she has the most awesome voice that I have ever heard.

Really wish we had the pleasure of seeing Eva-Marie this season at San Francisco as both Sieglinde and Minnie; she is perfectly suited for this role!
