Libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica
Puccini’s “Japanese tragedy” tops the charts among the opera-going public, and the composer, too, was particularly moved by the fate of his Madama Butterfly, who is bought, used and then abandoned by Pinkerton, an officer of the American marines on leave. Underlying the stirring score and exquisite sound of the orchestra is not just a period drama set in picaresque Japan; at the story’s heart lies a conflict that will retain its relevance as long as a Cio-Cio-San has only the choice between prostitution and suicide.

Press reviews
Die Deutsche Bühne
"Die Kontrastschärfe zwischen elegischer Poesie und aufbrausender Dramatik wirkt beim Orchester der Staatsphilharmonie entspannter als in der Szene und das fließende Tempo entzieht dem Gemüt die Gemütlichkeit."
- Dieter Stoll, Die Deutsche Bühne
Nürnberger Nachrichten
"(...) viel Sympathie vom Publikum."
- Jens Voskamp, Nürnberger Nachrichten
Nürnberger Zeitung
"Großes Gefühlskino im Opernhaus: Giacomo Puccinis Oper 'Madama Butterfly' bewies bei der Premiere am Samstag, was musikalisch - und psychologisch - in ihr steckt."
