NC Opera The Girl of the golden west artwork 2023

The Gold Rush is on and the rules are off in Puccini’s wild west opera. Minnie’s saloon is the one place in town where the lawless gold seekers settle down and put their differences aside. But all that changes when a stranger rides into town and steals Minnie’s heart.

THE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST in Concert runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes including one intermission. Performed in Italian with English supertitles.

Groups 10+ call NC Opera Box Office: 919-792-3853

What is a concert performance? At North Carolina Opera, a concert performance is all about the music! In this performance of Puccini’s THE GIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST, there are no sets, costumes, or props. Instead, the soloists, chorus, orchestra, AND conductor are all on stage to perform the opera. In the audience, you’ll get an impressive view of the artists as they work together to bring the dynamic score to life.
