• In seinem Roman »Die kleinen Gärten des Maestro Puccini« enthüllt der Autor Helmut Krausser, dass Giacomo Puccinis bis dahin unbekannte Geliebte Corinna für die Figur der Cio-Cio San Patin gestanden hat. Sicher ist, dass Puccini im Sommer 1900 in London im Duke of York's Theatre eine Aufführung des Schauspiels »Madame Butterfly« von David Belasco erlebte und schnell erkannte, dass er hier den Stoff für seine neue Oper gefunden hatte. Als die Oper 1904 an der Mailänder Scala herauskam, fiel das Werk zur Enttäuschung des Komponisten beim Publikum durch. Doch es brauchte nur ein paar Überarbeitungen, damit das Werk noch im selben Jahr seinen bis heute andauernden Siegeszug über die Opernbühnen der Welt antreten konnte.

Madama Butterfly / Giacomo Puccini / Staatsoper Hamburg

Nagasaki, Japan, around 1900: Pinkerton, lieutenant in the American Navy, has fallen in love with Cio-Cio-San, known as "Butterfly". The wedding according to the Japanese ritual is just a farce for him - and a little later Pinkerton's “toy” is alone again with their son. He returns to Japan three years later, but not because of Butterfly. He and his new wife want to pick up the child and take them to America. Butterfly takes her own life.

The opera's premiere in 1904 turned into a historical fiasco: the audience at La Scala in Milan did not know what to do with the exotic material. But Puccini believed in the piece: “My Butterfly remains what it is. The most emotive opera I've ever written! ”He was right: just a few months later,“ Madama Butterfly ”in a modified version experienced a resounding success when it was performed at the Teatro Grande Brescia. To this day, Puccini's "Tragedia giapponese" is one of the most popular and touching operas of all.
