Discover the passionate and heartbreaking story of true love, which has been shaped into one of the most beautiful operas of all time - in the opera "Madama Butterfly", based on a true story, the exoticism of the Orient blends perfectly with the masterful music of Puccini.

“Madama Butterfly” is an opera inspired by a true story. At the beginning of the 20th century, in the city of Nagasaki, in the background of the clash of Western and Eastern civilizations, there develops a love story of a Japanese girl Cio-Cio San and an American naval officer Pinkerton. It is a story of passion, honour, betrayal and the faithful love of a woman. She is called Cio-Cio San, meaning Madama Butterfly in Japanese for her fragile beauty. Cio-Cio San chooses to renounce her country’s traditions and her family’s religion to give her whole heart to the love of her life, Pinkerton. She is unaware that love and the marriage is merely a game for the man. Soon he deserts her and Cio-Cio San is left behind, pregnant with their child of which Pinkerton is unaware. with their child. But her love is steadfast. After three long years, Pinkerton returns to Japan with his American wife and instead of a happy reunion, he is about to take away their child.

Puccini’s music reveals the feelings of the heroes so subtly and captivatingly that “Madama Butterfly” has become one of the most beloved operas in the world. The music breathes poetry, passion, romance and the aroma of the Orient. Puccini’s masterpiece had its world premiere in La Scala (1904), but the premiere was met with cat-calls and booing, mainly due to the poor casting and conflicts between editors and the composer. The Current staging premieres in the summer of 2023 in Brescia, where the opera received its true welcome only a few months after the fiasco of the premiere.

Avastage tõelise armastuse kirglik ja südantlõhestav lugu, mis on vormunud üheks kauneimaks ooperiks läbi aegade - tõestisündinud lool põhinevas ooperis „Madama Butterfly“ sulandub idamaade eksootilisus suurepäraselt Puccini meisterliku muusikaga.

„Madama Butterfly“ põhineb tõestisündinud lool. 20. sajandi alguse Nagasakis põrkuvad lääne ja ida tsivilisatsioon, kultuur ning arusaamad jaapani tütarlapse Cio-Cio-Sani ja Ameerika mereväeohvitseri Pinkerton armastusloo taustal. See on lugu kirest, aust, reetmisest ja naise truust armastusest. Cio-Cio-San ehk Liblikas, keda hüütakse nõnda tema graatsia ja õrnuse pärast, otsustab öelda lahti oma maast, esivanemate traditsioonidest ja usust, et kinkida oma süda Pinkertonile. Cio-Cio-San ei aima, et Pinkertonile on armastus ja abielu vaid mäng. Peagi jätab mees ta maha, teadmata et Cio-Cio-San ootab temalt last. Kui mees kolme aasta pärast oma ameeriklannast naisega naaseb, ootab Cio-Cio-Sani õnneliku taaskohtumise asemel tragöödia: Pinkerton on tulnud vaid selleks, et võtta temalt laps.

Puccinil on õnnestunud oma tegelaste tunded ja saatused sedavõrd haaravalt ning tõetruult muusikasse valada, et „Madama Butterflyst“ on saanud tänaseks üks armastatumaid oopereid maailmas, mille muusikast õhkub poeesiat, kirge, romantikat ja idamaade aroomi. Puccini meistriteos jõudis lavale esmakordselt 1904. aastal La Scalas,. Esietendus vilistati välja, peamiselt viletsate lauljate ning helilooja ja kirjastajate vahel tõusnud tüli tõttu – kummagi leeri pooldajad püüdsid teisest üle karjuda. Käesolev lavastus esietendub 2023. aasta suvel Brescias, kus teos pälvis vaid mõni kuu pärast esmaetenduse fiaskot palava vastuvõtu.
