붓꽃 독백 - <Giacomo Puccini - Madama Butterfly>

Giacomo Puccini - Madama Butterfly – Royal Swedish Opera

Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini 

A guileless Japanese girl gives up everything to marry a lieutenant in the US Navy. But when he suddenly leaves the country, she is determined to wait patiently until he sails back into harbour.

The last of Puccini’s ‘big three’ operas, Madama Butterfly is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking. Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian sings the title role in this colourful production from the Royal Swedish Opera set amongst the glitz and kitsch of postwar Japan.
