  3. Madama Butterfly


One of the sweet yet tragic figures of Italian opera, Madama Butterfly touches our hearts today, as she did at the opera´s 1904 premiere.

The director Damiano Michieletti shows us that the story is timeless: "The broken wings of Butterfly" he says, are also a contemporary tragedy".

As we meet a fragile young woman sold as a bride-to-be in contemporary Nagoyo, Michieletto shows us realism, compassion, loyalty destroyed and broken beauty: the opera is all its heartbreaking power.
