Madama Butterfly - Wiener Staatsoper (2023) - Madama Butterfly - Bayerische Staatsoper (2023)

Description

Reproduced from an original co-production of The Metropolitan Opera, English National Opera, and the Lithuanian National Opera.

The production is notable for the debut of Sonya Yoncheva as Cio-Cio-San.

The production by Oscar-winning Hollywood director Anthony Minghella, known worldwide for films such as The English Patient and The talented Mr. Ripley, fascinates with its haunting visual worlds. Poetic, cinematic impact is combined with elements from traditional Japanese theatre, the work creates an unheard-of pull through the exemplary use of gestures, colours, dance, puppetry and light, which gains its energy from an aesthetic fine-grainedness and depth of field.
