A superb musical foundation under Antonio Pappano forms the basis for a satisfying new Fanciulla del West at the Staatoper in Berlin. 

Willy Decker's production, presented in Zürich in 2014, is revived at the Hamburgische Staatsoper with most of the same cast

At least the colour-coded characters in Andreas Homoki’s farcical production made it easy to know which team to barrack for.
