Madama Butterfly - Lyon Opera house (2025) - Madama Butterfly - Opéra national de Lyon (2025)

Description

New production,
co-production with the Aix-en-Provence Festival and Komische Oper Berlin.

"The German director Andrea Breth – an emblematic figure of the contemporary scene – highlights the artifice of the play of gazes at the very heart of lyrical representation: between Butterfly and characters who violently project their fantasies onto a person and a society; between Puccini, his librettists and the world of Japan; or between opera and today's public. A masterpiece of intimacy laid bare under the direction of Sesto Quatrini. , a fine connoisseur of the Italian repertoire, thirty years after the last performance in Lyon."
