Puccini. MADAMA BUTTERFLY

Daegu Opera House (South Korea)

Puccini’s beloved opera “Madama Butterfly” set in Nagasaki, Japan. It tells the tragic story of Cio-Cio San, who waits alone for her husband to come back with lyrical and dramatic melodies. It is well known for its famous arias including “Un bel di vedremo” from Act 2 and the “Humming Chorus” from Act 3 and the use of the Eastern pentatonic scale in parts of the opera creates an exotic atmosphere.

Cio-Cio San’s poignant longing and love, expressed through Puccini’s music, promise to leave an unforgettable impression on the audience.
