Madame Butterfly (Opera in three acts)

More information about:

Opera in three acts based on a libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica

In Nagasaki, Japan, the American Lieutenant Pinkerton has fallen in love with the geisha Cho-Cho-San, whom everyone calls Butterfly. Pinkerton only wants to marry the beautiful Japanese woman Butterfly according to Japanese custom. He has no interest in a serious marriage. Butterfly, on the other hand, really loves Pinkerton. Shortly after he leaves for America, she has a child with him. But she waits in vain for several years for him to return.

The opera comes to a tragic end because Pinkerton wants to pick up his child in Japan and take it with him to America. Accompanied by his new wife, he arrives in Nagasaki. Butterfly is prepared to leave the child to him. She says goodbye to her son and while Pinkerton comes to pick him up, Butterfly kills herself with a dagger.
