Madama Butterfly is Puccini's first opera set in an exotic setting. While working, the composer studied music (type of melody, instrumentation) and customs of Japan. The title character is most profoundly depicted in terms of psychology: as a joyful and hopeful fiancée, trusting and faithful wife, a despairing, abandoned woman, calm and sure of her decision before her death - in every state, "Mrs. Butterfly" inspires the listener's fascination and dominates the stage. The authors of the libretto referred to several literary sources: the French novel by Pierre Loti Madame Chrysantheme, the short story by John Luther Long, Madame Butterfly, and David Belasco's drama based on it under the same title. Although the main character of the opera, Cho-Cho San, owes its nickname to the ancestral coat of arms carved in the shape of a butterfly, one can find deeper symbolism in it. Puccini's opera, classified as a veristic work, is staged with unflagging success on stages all over the world Set in an exotic landscape, the geisha drama has been subtly realized with the full beauty of the music extracted from the score, the psychological credibility, the stage harmony and the use of modern lighting techniques.
