Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, one of the most played operas today, is performed on the Seebühne for the first time. The director is Andreas Homoki, who together with Michael Levine’s magical stage set with its subtle landscape paintings brings Japanese flair to Lake Constance, supported not least by Antony McDonald’s colorful costumes.
“Enrique Mazzola leads the Wiener Symphoniker to a beguiling string sound and a flexibility that is so important for Puccini.” (Der Tagesspiegel)
“Barno Ismatullaeva manages the great aria of Cio-Cio-San touchingly beautifully.” (SZ)
“These are beautiful filigree images that director Andreas Homoki and his team [...] have created.” (Der Standard)
History
Puccini’s original version of Madama Butterfly premiered at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala in 1904. The composer was inspired to write an opera about a tragic love between a young Japanese geisha and an American Navy officer after seeing David Belasco’s play by the same name performed in London in June 1900. Puccini’s score includes many Japanese folk melodies, and is one of his most sweeping and sophisticated. It remains one of the world’s most popular operas.
