Four years separate the composition of Madama Butterfly , “Japanese tragedy in three acts”, from that of Tosca created in 1900. Puccini found the subject in a play inspired by the novel by Pierre Loti: Madame Chrysanthème . The day after his "Japanese wedding", Pinkerton returns to America and abandons his young wife and the child she is expecting. Believing against all odds in the promised return, Butterfly remains stubbornly faithful to him, gradually sinking into isolation. The return of the officer after three years of absence, on the arm of his American wife, will put an end to this expectation. Overwhelmed, Butterfly abandons the child to them and kills herself.

After a stormy premiere at La Scala in Milan in February 1904 and some adjustments granted by the maestro, Madama Butterfly definitively triumphs. A century later, this poignant plot served by the modest but brilliant score of Puccini continues to upset.

Since a striking Eugen Onegin and a recent and piquant Véronique , the Loire public has been able to appreciate the sober and just look that Alain Garichot brings to any lyrical work that he pierces, strips and finally sets alight, faithful to his credo: "Place at the theater ! »

English

Quatre années séparent la composition de Madama Butterfly, « tragédie japonaise en trois actes », de celle de Tosca créée en 1900. Puccini en trouva le sujet dans une pièce inspirée du roman de Pierre Loti : Madame Chrysanthème. Au lendemain de ses "noces japonaises", Pinkerton repart en Amérique et abandonne sa jeune épouse ainsi que l’enfant qu’elle attend. Croyant envers et contre tout au retour promis, Butterfly lui reste obstinément fidèle, sombrant progressivement dans l’isolement. Le retour de l’officier après trois ans d’absence, au bras de son épouse américaine, mettra un point final à cette attente. Accablée, Butterfly leur abandonne l’enfant et se donne la mort.

Après une création houleuse à La Scala de Milan en février 1904 et quelques aménagements concédés par le maestro, Madama Butterfly triomphe définitivement. Un siècle après, cette intrigue poignante servie par la pudique mais brillante partition de Puccini continue de bouleverser.

Depuis un saisissant Eugen Onegin et une récente et piquante Véronique, le public ligérien a pu apprécier le regard sobre et juste qu’Alain Garichot porte sur toute œuvre lyrique qu’il transperce, dépouille et finalement embrase fidèle à son credo : « Place au théâtre ! »
