A screening of the Metropolitan Opera’s production of La Fanciulla del West, Giacomo Puccini’s ‘American’ opera, based on David Belasco’s play The Girl of the Golden West, will be held at Spazju Kreattiv Cinema, St James Cavalier, Valletta, tomorrow at 2.30pm.
The drama is set during the California Gold Rush, and the girl of the title is one of Puccini’s most appealing heroines – a strong, independent woman determined to win the man she loves. It has rebounded in popularity in recent years and is now counted among Puccini’s best works.
The Met Opera’s production of La Fanciulla del West will be screened at Spazju Kreattiv Cinema, St James Cavalier, Valletta, tomorrow at 2.30pm. It is in Italian with English subtitles. For tickets, visit www.kreattivita.org.
