Madama Butterfly by Puccini

By adapting John Luther Long’s folktale, Puccini created a score that is both monumental and captivating – an unquestionable masterpiece. Leiser and Caurier’s exquisite production draws inspiration from 19th century European depictions of Japan. In this production, Sonya Yoncheva takes on the role of the tragic oriental heroine, prepared to sacrifice herself in the face of the harsh reality of betrayal.
