Opera by composer Giacomo Puccini "Madama Butterfly" is an immortal masterpiece of Italian opera at the beginning of the 20th century. Cio-Cio-San is the second name and at the same time the name of the main character. However, it is Madama Butterfly that most accurately describes the main plot conflict of the work. Butterfly is translated as "butterfly" or "moth". The traditional Japanese attire, the kimono worn by the young Cio-Cio-San, looks like the light wings of a moth that flies into the ruthless fire of love.

 

The opera "Madama Butterfly" is a difficult drama of the main character, and is rightfully considered one of the most tragic operas of world heritage. The audience unfolds the story of the transformation of a naive girl into a mature, expressive woman, for whom the concepts of honor and pride are above her own life. An incredible love story takes place in the small Japanese city of Nagasaki. Puccini's musical language is permeated with a magnificent combination of oriental intonations, going into the depths of Japanese folklore and brilliant Italian bel canto, which reveals the beauty and expressiveness of the human voice. The opera "Madama Butterfly" has gone through a difficult path of audience recognition, becoming an example of a subtle intersection of cultures and traditions.
