<description><![CDATA[La Fanciulla del West, Puccini's best, least-known opera, recently turned 100. The rollicking spaghetti Western â€” which takes place during the California Gold Rush â€” premiered December 10, 1910, at New York Cityâ€™s Metropolitan Opera. But despite its initial success, it didn't prove to be as popular as La BohÃ¨me, Tosca, or Madama Butterfly. 

In celebration of the operaâ€™s centennial, Boston Universityâ€™s College of Fine Arts, in conjunction with the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center, hosted â€œFanciulla 100: Celebrating Puccini,â€ a symposium that featured numerous musical experts and historians, including Deborah Burton, a CFA assistant professor of music and former president of the New England Conference for Music Theory. 

In the video above, Burton demonstrates the rhythms behind Pucciniâ€™s Fancuilla. â€œWe hear the waltz, the polka, and the bolero,â€ she says. â€œThese dances could have been inspired by the incidental music Puccini heard when he went to New York in 1907 and saw the Belasco plays Girl of the Golden West and Rose of the Rancho. Audiences of those plays would have heard two waltzes, a polka, two boleros, a habanera, and a cachucha.â€
