Spoken

In »Madame Butterfly«, Puccini takes the side of a woman from the East. Cio-Cio-San displays a greatness of soul that contrasts starkly with her Western husband's recklessness. Puccini dedicates to her one of the most beautiful and challenging roles ever written for the soprano voice, with lovely melodies, touching scenes and a wide range of emotions, from childish joy to supreme despair. The timbre extends far beyond Europe: on the one hand, Puccini imitates the Japanese musical style, on the other hand, he weaves motifs from the American national anthem into the Pinkerton scenes, not entirely without irony. Today, »Madame Butterfly« is one of the most popular works in the opera repertoire worldwide.

English

In »Madame Butterfly« stellt sich Puccini ganz auf die Seite einer Frau aus dem Osten. Cio-Cio-San beweist eine Seelengröße, die stark mit der Leichtsinnigkeit ihres westlichen Mannes kontrastiert. Ihr widmet Puccini eine der schönsten und herausforderndsten Rollen, die je für die Sopranstimme geschrieben wurden, mit reizenden Melodien, berührenden Szenen und einer breiten Palette an Emotionen, von der kindischen Freude bis hin zur höchsten Verzweiflung. Die Klangfarbe reicht weit über Europa hinaus: Einerseits ahmt Puccini den japanischen Musikstil nach, anderseits flicht er nicht ganz ironiefrei in die Pinkerton- Szenen Motive der amerikanischen Nationalhymne ein. Heute zählt »Madame Butterfly« weltweit zu den beliebtesten Werken des Opernrepertoires.
