Madame Butterfly
Puccini’s 1904 version of
Madame Butterfly, is one of the
most often produced operas
in the entire repertory. Puccini
considered it to be the best
and most technically advanced
opera that he had written. It is
different from many operas, as
it’s intimate, devoid of spectacle,
taking place completely within a
house in Nagasaki. There is
one straight plot line, without
subplots. Girl wins boy, girl loses
boy, girl commits hara kiri.
What makes the piece work are
the characterizations of Butterfly
and her Captain Pinkerton, both
in the dramaand in the rich and
luscious Puccini score.
