There are few operatic moments that, in their inescapable yet profoundly affecting pain, can rival the geisha Cio-Cio-San's three-year wait for the return of her lover, Navy officer Pinkerton. When will he come from America and keep his promise of happiness together in love? Because of this love, didn't she break with her Japanese family and their values ​​to live the American way of life? He will come, she is sure of it, and so she calls out dreaming into the night of Nagasaki: "One fine day we will see a wisp of smoke rising from the far edge of the sea and then the ship will appear. He will call out 'Butterfly' from afar. All of this will happen, I promise you. Keep your fears, I await him with unwavering loyalty. No composer brought people's emotions to the operatic stage in such a captivating and dramatic way as Giacomo Puccini, who passionately and powerfully made his characters love, hate and die. His masterpiece "Madama Butterfly", which premiered in 1904, is brought to new life by Floris Visser, who is staging it for the first time at the Graz Opera. He has worked at the Amsterdam Opera, the Zurich Opera House, the Aalto Theater in Essen, the Karlsruhe State Theater and the Glyndebourne Festival, among others.
