Set in Meiji period Nagasaki and punctuated with vibrant melodies such as the well-known aria "Un bel dì, vedremo", Puccini's Madama Butterfly is known and loved around the world. The Japan depicted by Puccini, who had never actually set foot in the country, feels real and we can only marvel at his deep insight and imagination. The NNTT production directed by Kuriyama Tamiya casts a sharp eye on the social background of the story, especially Japan's relationship with America at the time. No matter how many times you have seen it, you will find something new in this outstanding production.

Showcasing her dramatic voice and rich emotional expression, the role of Madama Butterfly is performed by the remarkable Kobayashi Atsuko who has earned rave reviews for her wide range of work in recent years--appearing as Elisabetta in Don Carlo, and Sieglinde in Walküre at the NNTT. Appearing widely across Japan in recent years, she has been praised as "the ideal Cio-Cio-san (Madama Butterfly)". This performance features American rising star, tenor José Simerilla Romero as Pinkerton and experienced Italian Bruno Taddia as Sharpless.

Madama Butterfly by Puccini, Sat 24 May 2025, From (2025/2025), Directed by Tamiya Kuriyama,, Conductor Enrique Mazzola, New National Theatre, Tokyo, Japan
