Description

MADAMA BUTTERFLY, one of the most popular operas of Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924), is the story of the conflicting expectations of Lieutenant Pinkerton, an American naval officer, and Madame Butterfly (Cio-Cio San), who marry while Pinkerton is stationed in Nagasaki. Pinkerton intends to divorce Butterfly when he returns to the United States, but she believes that the marriage will last forever. When Pinkerton returns to Japan with his new wife Kate, Butterfly commits seppuku with her father's knife after placing an American flag in the hand of her son. The original premiere of a version in two acts on February 17, 1904 at La Scala in Milan was a disaster, resulting in Puccini withdrawing that version and substantially rewriting the opera. The second version was in three acts, and it premiered on May 28, 1904 in Brescia to much greater success. In 1906 and 1907, Puccini created a third and fourth version for the Metropolitan Opera in New York and for Paris respectively. Finally, again in 1907, Puccini made the final revisions to the opera for a fifth version, and this is the one most often performed today, referred to as the "Standard Version." In Act 2, Butterfly and Suzuki sing the FLOWER DUET as they decorate the house in anticipation of Pinkerton's return. The act concludes with the celebrated HUMMING CHORUS. Instrumentation: 3(3rd d. Picc).2+EH.2+BCl.2: 4.3.3+BTbn.0: Timp.Perc(3): Hp: Str (4.4.3.3.3 in set): Va-offstage: Soli S.MS: Women's Chor.
