It was London in 1900 where Giacomo Puccini – who was supervising the Covent Garden production of his recent opera Tosca – was profoundly marked after seing David Belasco’s play Madama Butterfly. The theme of the short and unfotunate love story between the young Japanese, who gives up to her family, culture and religion to marry the american officer B. F. Pinkerton and who, after a long waiting for her lover’s return commits suicide, met precisely the composer’s expectations. Puccini spent the next two years composing Madama Butterfly, undertaking some serious research on japanese music and tradition. His results can be easily found within the score that also includes Nipponese melodies and american anthem fragments.

Despite the cautiousness and carefulness of Puccini during the elaboration, Madama Butterfly’s premiere, held in 1904 at Teatro alla Scala in Milano, met some unfriendly reactions that determined the composer to retract his opera from the repertoire and to make a completely revision. The new Madama Butterfly found itself in the limelight for the first time at Brescia in the same year, being highly successful, and the following reviews resulted in a highly popular opera, similar to its predecessor – La bohème (1896).

The performance has one break and ends around 9.15 p.m.
