‘Love cannot kill: it brings new life.’
On a starlit night in Nagasaki, these are the words spoken by American soldier Pinkerton to young
geisha Cio-Cio-San. But as they both learn, words and promises carelessly spoken can have
indelible consequences. With a score that includes Butterfly’s aria, Un bel dì, vedremo (‘One fine
day’) and the Humming Chorus, Giacomo Puccini’s opera is entrancing and ultimately heartbreaking. Maria Agresta and Lianna Haroutounian share the title role in this revival of Moshe
Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s exquisite production, inspired by 19th
-century European images of
Japan, and conducted by Nicola Luisotti.

Madame Butterfly by Puccini, Tue 27 Sep 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Moshe Leiser, Patrice Caurier,, Conductor Nicola Luisotti, Royal Opera House, London, United Kingdom
