Marie-Ève Signeyrole directs this gripping production of Puccini’s La fanciulla del West, shaping a tense, closed‑door drama that reads like a psychological thriller. Under Antonino Fogliani’s conducting, Puccini’s cinematic score exposes the darker myths of the Gold Rush while passionate vocal performances navigate romance, deceit and pursuit. Set and lighting design intensify claustrophobic mood, and the staging balances grand operatic gestures with intimate emotional detail, revealing moral ambiguities at the heart of the American frontier.
