Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Chemistry in Spades, Diamonds Hearts and Clubs!
An absolutely fabulous production down to domingo's chaps! Acting is supreme, staging is excellent little details are fantastic. I saw the Miller/la scala production before this one and came away from that one feeling a little miffed. This is a hundred times better!
The chemistry between these two is magnificent. I would heartily recommend it pardners!

The kiss in Act II with the door blowing open, genius and the card game with the unconcious domingo, Classic!

I have not seen the Met Production yet but will no doubt in the next few weeks! If you have not already bought this production, treat yourself for Christmas!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Masterpiece
I had heard the CD version from a library many years ago. The DVD is even better. The music in this Opera is much more flowing and integrated with the plot than earlier Puccini operas. Domingo is very handsome and dashing in this, and Neblett is very feisty in the leading role. I'll watch this version a few more times I am sure.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The definitive recording of a great work
Anyone interested in buying Puccini operas on DVD should look no further than this disc of 'La Fanciulla del West'.

The DVD quality is excellent and I had no hesitation in discarding my old video version. The production is superb: set design, costuming, and direction are all spot on. In Domingo, we have a genuine star in his absolute prime, nothing less than perfect as Dick Johnson. Carol Neblett really does look the part as Minnie and copes admirably with the very difficult passages towards the end of Act 1 and her acting and singing in the climax of Act 2 could scarcely be bettered. But in many ways, the real stars are the Covent Garden company, with Bob Lloyd, Gwynne Howell, and Francis Egerton delightful in the minor roles.
