It’s 1849 and the gold rush is in full swing. Bar owner Minnie serves grog to the rough miners while fending off the horny sheriff. When a tall, mysterious stranger turns up, it looks as if her life is about to change. But the dastardly outlaw is up to no good.
Returning to the stage on which it premiered in 1910, Puccini’s ‘gunpowder western’ has soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek singing the role of the gunslinging heroine alongside Jonas Kaufmann as the wrong ‘un who steals her heart.
