The Royal Opera House Madama Butterfly
Released · 156 min
From the radiant happiness of Cio-Cio-San’s ‘Ancora unpasso’, to the devastating pathos of ‘Un bel dì vedremo’ as she longs for the ‘fine day’ when her husband will return, Puccini’s music evokes the shifting perspectives within the Japanese setting: sensual and seductive at the outset, yet brutal and heartbreaking by the end.
