Opera Insights: La fanciulla del West 

This presentation is a gem. Anyone interested in Puccini can widen their own understanding of the composer through this video.

I saw Franco Corelli in Fanciulla and got his autograph. Fanciulla one of my very favorite operas, so unique. Nothing else like it. Funny that the best American opera was written by Puccini!

What amazing insights. Brilliant.

This guy does such a great job, not in the least by his infectuous enthousiasm, must have been not easy with a rather dull audience that hardly seems to appreciate him nor the efforts of the fine soprano Are there more presentstions by him?

I love this opera and I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent and charming presentation.

True. La fanciula is an outstanding masterpiece.

well done, Shannon!

Isn't it spelled leitmotif?

Io posso cantare Puccini da Grande Tenore…. Vivo nella Città Natale di Franco Corelli.

"Light" motif... ahahahah
