First opera in stage version of the 2021/2022 season, Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini! The work was back on stage at the Salle Garnier after more than 10 years of absence. At the microphone of José Sacré, Mireille Larroche tells us about her staging

Despite an eventful start, Madame Butterfly has established itself as one of the most beloved titles in the operatic repertoire. It speaks to us today with as much force as more than a century ago. Our sensitivities, at the beginning of the 21st century, can see in it the story of the inequalities produced by imperialism, of the predation by adults of economically fragile adolescents, of the abandonment of mothers-daughters by "passing" parents. or difficulties of understanding between the various cultures and religions.

Beyond this tempting politicization, Madame Butterfly remains the most poignant of stories: driven by the purity of her feelings of love, Cio-Cio San will remain blind to the warning signs of Pinkerton's betrayal. Understandable blindness in a fifteen-year-old girl or denial of reality caused by her past traumas? From whatever side we look at this masterpiece, this quest for absolute love will upset our souls for a long time.

Madame Butterfly by Puccini, Tue 16 Nov 2021, From (2021/2021), Directed by Mireille Laroche,, Conductor Giampaolo Bisanti, Salle Garnier, Monaco, Monaco
