    Puccini’s operatic take on the Wild West is sprinkled with Hollywood glitz in this splashy production which stars blond bombshell soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek. Nikolaus Lehnhoff’s production updates the story to the capitalist culture of Wall Street, perfectly reflecting Puccini’s innovatory spirit. In a new angle on the age-old love triangle theme, corrupt Sheriff Jack Rance (Lucio Gallo) and charismatic criminal Dick Johnson (Zoran Todorovich) vie for the love of glamorous blonde and devout Christian Minnie, played by Westbroek. Carlo Rizzi’s idiomatic conducting draws excellent singing from the large cast and fine playing from The Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true surround sound.
