£ 699
MADAME BUTTERFLY
Oper in 3 Akten (1904) by Giacomo Puccini
BREGENZER FESTSPIELE July 20 – August 21
The Japanese geisha Cio-Cio-San, called Butterfly, revels in happiness when the American naval lieutenant Pinkerton takes her as his wife. The love of the two finds its musical climax in a brilliant duet, but shortly afterwards a warship brings the soldier back to his homeland.
Worlds and values collide, because while Pinkerton feels free and marries an American woman, Butterfly waits full of love and longs for three years for her husband to return – together with their child. In her famous aria »Un bel dì vedremo« she imagines in dazzling colours the day when her lover stands before her again. But then Pinkerton appears at the side of his American wife, and Cio-Cio-San makes an irrevocable decision.
The musical director is conductor Enrique Mazzola, who was also responsible for the Rigoletto rehearsal. Director Andreas Homoki, artistic director of the Zurich Opera House, brings along an internationally successful team that conjures up Japanese flair on Lake Constance with fine landscape paintings in the magical stage design by Michael Levine – not least in the colourful costumes of Antony McDonald, who was already responsible for Ein Maskenball and La Bohème on the lake stage.
