Madame Butterfly

Puccini's masterpiece is a true classic and one of the world's most beloved operas. With its immortal melodies tells Madame Butterfly the tragic story of an irresponsible and self-absorbed American lieutenant who falls in love with a Japanese geisha. However, he fails to live up to his marriage promise and leaves her - without knowing that she is pregnant.

Despite being a legendary failure at its world premiere in 1904, Puccini's masterpiece has subsequently become a perennial success. It has been calculated that Madame Butterfly on average is set up once a day somewhere around the world.
