Below is a YouTube video of a complete performance of Puccini’s La Fanciulla Del West performed on October 5, 2013 at the Vienna State Opera. As these videos have a way of disappearing because of copyright issues I’ve also added two sound files of the tenor arias from the opera sung by Jonas Kaufmann from that performance.The complete cast is below.

[The video is no longer live. Go here to hear a performance of the opera at the Met featuring Placido Domingo.]
