When Giacomo Puccini debuted his La fanciulla del West at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1910, he began the serious operatic engagement of the frontier West. Yet over a century since, the frontier West is a narrative space that has been engaged only sporadically by American and Canadian composers alike. Music drama of the frontier represents a niche corner of twentieth- and twenty-first century opera, one with compositional characteristics that distinguish it from other post-nineteenth century opera.The frontier West is both actual historiographic entity and imagistic concept. With the end of an actual frontier line in 1880, its recession into history brought recounting of memories from actual lived experiences, tainted and coloured by the passage of time and mixed together with artistically licenced renditions. Depictions of the West beginning in the nineteenth century established, then repeatedly reused, signifiers of time and place that created an easily recognizable imagistic space, one with stylized elements of setting, archetypical characters and expected broad story arcs. This exoticization of the West, the view of within from without, relies on markers or tropes of cultural difference from the normative culture that become readily identifiable characteristics of the artistic imagistic frontier. Mythicization of the West followed in symbolizing the exoticized frontier as representing various aspects of national identity (especially American identity), including rugged individualism and exceptionalism.This thesis examines four operas - Puccini's La fanciulla del West (1910), Douglas Moore's The Ballad of Baby Doe (1956), John Estacio's Filumena (2003), and Allan Bell's Turtle Wakes (2001) - for how each individually engages exoticism of the frontier with imagistic, mythological and musical codifications of the West in a manner that both extends late nineteenth-century romanticism and exoticism operatic practices and incorporates modernist musical elements.
