Puccini loved the exquisite Madama Butterfly above all his heroines. Laura Whalen makes her debut in the title role of the geisha who renounces her family to marry an American man. Guided by honour and fidelity, sustained by hope, she refuses for the longest time to believe she has been abandoned by the man she loves.

Puccini’s music pours out lush melodies, infused with delicate Japanese harmonies – it is as ravishing as anything in opera! Giuseppe Pietraroia conducts the Victoria Symphony. Performed in Italian with English surtitles.
