The most famous woman in the history of opera, and at the same time an extraordinary vocal and acting challenge, because the singer playing the role of Butterfly has to face a whole range of extreme emotions and, without leaving the stage, sing for a total of almost 90 minutes.
The dramatic story of the relationship between a geisha and a U.S. Navy lieutenant is set in the bustling modern Tokyo. The Szczecin performance, referring to the poetics of Lars von Trier's films, is enriched with the figure of a dancer - alter ego Butterfly, as well as multimedia projections.
 
Madama Butterfly is a universal story, it might as well have happened today. Cultural differences are still relevant, people still fall in love inappropriately, that will never change. The staging revolves around many contemporary pop culture themes - says director Pia Partum. (...)  Actually, in some aspects, the performance will have a lot to do with ... a soap opera.
