| Description |
Madama Butterfly has remained one of the world’s most loved operas. Based on a short story by John Luther Long [1898], the story, purported to be true, is of a young geisha girl who marries an American naval officer and is then forsaken by her husband for a preferable bride from his own country. The voluptuousness of Puccini’s music transports the listener to realms of unsurpassed vocal and harmonic splendor, bringing to life the optimism of Butterfly’s love for Pinkerton and then tenderly, anxiously, turning the emotional tide at the end. |
