Description

The Far East is represented by one of the world's most beloved operas in the story of Madame Butterfly by Giacamo Puccini. According to legend, Madame Butterfly was born of the memoirs of Jeannie Correll, which inspired the David Belasco play. Puccini was in the audience and was moved to adapt this love story of a young Japanese geisha who is carelessly tossed aside by her American naval lover; making the rest opera history. Reflecting contemporary interests in the Orient, he combined exotic musical undertones with a mastery of realistic characterization to create this work of genius. Full of soaring melodies and glorious orchestral interludes TLO proudly presents an intimate retelling of Cio-Cio San's passion, abandonment, and eventual downfall. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
