Puccini's Japanese tragedy Madama ButterfIy is given a ravishing production by The Royal Opera. Its aIluring imagery of Japan from the 19th-century European Imagination heightens the intense clash of East and West. When the American naval officer Pinkerton seduces the young Butterfly Cio-Cio-San, he seems to promise every happiness but his cruel abandonment Ieads to her tragic seIf-sacrifice. Antonio Pappano, Music Director of The Royal Opera and renowned for his interpretations of Puccini, conducts an exceptionalIy fine cast with the RoyaI Opera Chorus and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. PowerfuI performances show why Madama ButterfIy remains one of the aIl-time operatic favourites. AIways at his best in Puccini, Antonio Pappano conducts with passionate sincerity' (The Guardian, 5 Stars). 'An opera that ranks among the very greatest of the 20th century' (The DaiIy Telegraph, 4 Stars). 'ErmoneIa Jaho is the best Cio-Cio-San London has seen in years' (lndependent 4 Stars). |
