Madam Butterfly
American naval officer Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton is stationed temporarily in Nagasaki, Japan. Before marrying 15-year-old geisha Cio-Cio-San, he raises a whiskey glass to the day he will "properly" marry an American woman. The liaison with the pretty Japanese "doll" is nothing more than an affair for the duration of his stay abroad. After Pinkerton returns to America, Cio-Cio-San waits three years in vain for his return. When she finds out that he has remarried in his homeland and wants to take their child with him, there is only one way out for her...

After the successful works La bohème and Tosca , Giacomo Puccini left European soil for the first time with this opera and juxtaposed Western and Eastern mentalities. In his most ambitious score to date, fragile-exotic timbres contrast with a western-rough musical style. The true conflict of this "Japanese tragedy" lies less in the clash of cultures than in the irreconcilable principles of a constantly loving woman and an unfaithful, instinct-driven man. Puccini, himself a notorious cheater, was familiar with this area of ​​tension, and he succeeded in transforming the seemingly banal conflict into an opera of great emotional power.

The young American director Ted Huffman directs this new production. Svetlana Aksenova can be seen in the title role for the first time in Zurich. Tenor Saimir Pirgu, well known from our Rigoletto , returns as Pinkerton, making his debut in the role. After Rossini's Il viaggio a Reims , Daniele Rustioni is now conducting the Zurich Philharmonia in another new production in the Italian repertoire.
