it's one thing to hear the title La Fanciulla del West as one of Puccini's lesser-known operas, it's a whole other thing to learn that it has a solid claim on being the first spaghetti western, that it has an entire named character whose role is Wells Fargo Agent, and that its plot is "what if Tosca had a gun"

I've been debating if I want to go see a concert performance of La fanciulla del West, because I wasn't crazy about the originally announced Dick Johnson and Jack Rance. (The soprano and orchestra were never in question.) A couple months ago, the tenor got swapped out, and now I've discovered they have a new Jack, and I feel like the universe clearly wants me to go to this.

#opera #now the question is do i spring for good seats #or go with my usual cheap ones #maybe i'll go for middle of the road #personal #yes smile-at-the-stars #this is the one we discussed awhile ago #la fanciulla del west #puccini

Stimboard for Minnie, the badass titular soprano from La fanciulla del West (aka Puccini’s cow-boy opera 🤠), requested by my darling friend @smile-at-the-stars.

The opera "La fanciulla del West" by Giacomo Puccini, had its world premiere on December 10th, 1910 at The Metropolitan Opera in New York. In the presence of the composer, this was the highlight of the season. Arturo Toscanini was the Conductor. Here is an original evening note from the performance on March 27, 1911 at the MET, which is a curiosity.

It's highly likely that many opera fans have never heard of Giuseppe Giacomini. Understandable, as he wasn't exactly world famous. He did occasionally appear at the major opera houses, but he was vastly overshadowed by the Big Three tenors. The three major label recordings of his that I know of (a Tosca with Carol Vaness, Cavalleria rusticana with Jessye Norman, and Norma with Renata Scotto) make me feel like he was cast only because Pav, Dom, and Car weren't available.

But he was giving exceptional performances in smaller houses. Looking a bit like an accountant, his voice did not match his body. He had a real spinto voice, (unlike Pavarotti and Carreras), and he had high notes, (unlike Domingo).

Perhaps his voice is best heard in this rendition of "Ch'ella mi creda" from La fanciulla del West by Puccini. When he starts off, his low notes are so deep and dark, you'd almost swear he was a baritone, but his strong high notes leave no doubt as to his actual fach.

It's an absolutely masterful piece of singing. I have never heard a better performance of this aria.

He passed away in 2021 at age 80, but his art lives on.
