E2711 Opera at the Paragon - Puccini (23 Jan 2027)

Sat, 23 Jan 2027 17:15:00 GMT

Puccini’s exhilarating drama of the Wild West returns in a new staging by celebrated British director Richard Jones, marking the company’s first new production of La Fanciulla del West in more than 30 years.

Soprano Sondra Radvanovsky adds to her already remarkable Met repertoire, making her role debut as Minnie, the tough tavern owner with a heart of gold who finds love when she least expects it. Tenor SeokJong Baek is the dashing bandit who rambles into the remote California mining town to steal her heart, opposite baritone Christopher Maltman as the lawman determined to deliver rough justice—and win Minnie for himself.

Maestro Keri-Lynn Wilson takes the podium to conduct one of opera’s most action-packed adventures, live from the Met stage to your local cinema.

This is a private showing of the Metropolitan Opera Live-Stream performance of "La Fanciulla del West" for ICS members.

Dr. Tom Cimarustsi will provide instrudictory remarks from 12:15 to 12:45. The opera begins at 1 pm, and is scheduled to last 3 hours 40 minutes with one intermission.

Do NOT purchase a ticket from the theater before the day of the event.

Registration is different from all other ICS events.

Here’s how it works:

1. The Naples Paragon theater will stream the opera from the Met in each of its three theaters: one is reserved for ICS only.

2. ICS has contracted music historian, Dr. Tom Cimerusti, to provide introductory remarks prior to the performance, from 12:15 - 12:45 only in the theater reserved for ICS members.

To attend:

3. Your ticket must be purchased, in person, at the Paragon theater the day of the performance. The box office opens at 11AM at which time you will select your seat and purchase your ticket. Ticket prices are $16 and $20. All seats recline. Food and beverages can be ordered from and delivered to the $20 seats. Food and beverages may be purchased in the lobby and brought to the $16 seats. .

4. When purchasing your ticket, make sure to specify the ICS theater.

5. Sign up here to sign up and let ICS know you are attending.
