Filled with hope and love, Cio-Cio-San sings her aria, “Un bel di verdremo,” while dreaming of that one fine day. The pattern is set with the promise of fragrant verbena flowers alongside cherry and orange blossom silhouettes, and numerous butterfly wings. A Japanese sun and aria lyrics embellish the design, finished with Puccini’s signature.

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.
