Sydney Harbour

B.F. Pinkerton arrives in Japan and inspects a house overlooking the harbour that he is leasing from the marriage broker, Goro. Goro has also found him a Japanese bride, Cio Cio San. It’s clearly a financial transaction rather than a love match but on their wedding night the stars come out, their eyes meet and magic happens. Butterfly considers herself married to him forever, but Pinkerton doesn’t have the same view of their union. Pinkerton returns to the US and finds a “real” American wife, while Butterfly waits with unshakeable faith for him to return to the house on the harbour. Three years later he does return to Japan - with his American wife - and is surprised to find Butterfly has borne him a son. Realising he has deserted her, Butterfly chooses death over a paradise lost.
