Happy Birthday, Fanciulla: An Introduction by Dean Juárez

By buniverse ()

La Fanciulla del West, Puccini's best, least-known opera, recently turned 100. The rollicking spaghetti Western — which takes place during the California Gold Rush — premiered December 10, 1910, at New York City’s Metropolitan [...]Opera. But despite its initial success, it didn't prove to be as popular as La Bohème, Tosca, or Madama Butterfly.

In celebration of the opera’s centennial, Boston University’s College of Fine Arts, in conjunction with the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center, hosted “Fanciulla 100: Celebrating Puccini," a symposium that featured numerous notable musical experts and historians.

“Puccini was a composer of his time,” says Benjamín Juárez, dean of CFA. “And he is still young, challenging, and relevant 100 years later.”

Hosted by the College of Fine Arts and the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center on December 6, 2010.
