  Madama Butterfly

  
  One of the most famous operas of all time is coming to the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona: Puccini's Madama Butterfly. This tragic story narrates the struggles of the Nagasaki geisha Butterfly (Cio-Cio-San), condemned after being abandoned by the man she loves, the American officer Pinkerton. A masterpiece that stirs the emotions like no other thanks to the intensity of Puccini's music and the libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa (with whom Puccini had already created La Bohème and Tosca). Throughout December, Liceu audiences will be able to enjoy this production directed by Paolo Bortolameolli and staged by Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier.
