Madame ButterflyGiacomo Puccini, staged with unflagging success at the world's greatest opera houses, had its world premiere in Milan at the Teatro alla Scala in 1904. After the war, the Wrocław Opera staged a performance in 1946 (the premiere took place under the musical direction of Stefan Syryłło, it was directed by Stanisław Drabik, and the set design by Witold Fedorski with Jerzy Feldman), and then in 1949, 1952 and 1993. After years of absence, she returned to the Wrocław stage in a new installment, directed by Giancarlo del Monaco, who re-tells the story of the Cio-Cio-San geisha, without memory of an American navy officer in love with an officer. He takes his affection, sealed by a marriage vow, mature, while Lieutenant Pinkerton sees the relationship as an exotic joke. When he has to leave Japan promises Cio-Cio-San to return. He comes back, but on his terms. The theme of seduction and abandonment has been present in opera for a long time.Madame Butteffly fits in perfectly with this tradition, remaining one of the most beautiful operas about disappointed love.
