MADAME BUTTERFLY

Opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini

The story of the little Japanese girl in love is both sad and tender - a tale from the days when, at the beginning of the last century, Europe discovered the inexplicable charm of the distant Eastern world, to whose captivating culture Japan belongs. It was in those distant days that Madama Butterfly, Giacomo Puccini’s masterpiece, was born. Today, the world is "more unified" in its perception of the romantic and the tragic. The new production by Ruse Opera will take a glimpse into the past, when these two worlds were at the beginning of their dynamic and irreversible fusion. In the search for the pure, authentic, and lesser-known elements of Japan’s vast culture in today’s interpretation, the production is enriched by many of the Japanese ballet artists from the Ruse Opera troupe.
