Russian State Opera - Madama Butterfly • 11 Oct • Taliesin Arts Centre


No opera can match the tragedy and sorrow of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly.


Set in Japan at the turn of the century, it is the story of a doomed love affair between an American naval officer and his young Japanese bride whose self-sacrifice and defiance of her family leads to tragedy. Sad and tragic it most certainly is, yet the compelling tale of Madama Butterfly remained Puccini’s


favourite opera – his supreme theatrical achievements also gave the world its most sublime and beautiful arias in history - One Fine Day and Love Duet, as well as the Humming Chorus which has been popular with opera-goers for over a century.
