Livermore Valley Opera Presents
La Fanciulla del West
The Girl of the Golden West
By Giacomo Puccini
February 27 & 28, March 6 & 7, 2027
Bankhead Theater | Livermore, CA
The California Gold Rush comes alive in Puccini’s bold and cinematic love story set on the American frontier. Minnie, a sharp and fearless saloon owner, is the heart of a rugged mining camp. When a charming stranger rides into town with a dangerous past, she is drawn into a high-stakes gamble where love and justice collide. Packed with soaring melodies, suspense, and unforgettable characters, La Fanciulla del West is Puccini at his most adventurous.
Celebrate opening night with a festive pre-performance dinner at Uncle Yu’s at 4:00 PM, featuring fine dining, selected wines, and a chance to gather with the LVO community before an unforgettable evening of La Fanciulla del West. Opening night dinner tickets are available through the main ticketing page linked below.

“Courtney Miller… made the character’s two dress-up scenes laugh-out-loud centerpieces of the opera.”
