Madama Butterfly
After Tosca (2019), which marked Pucciniâs entry into its repertoire, the Festival celebrates the centenary of the composerâs death this year by putting on his âJapanese tragedyâ Madame Butterfly: the cruel story of a vulnerable but strong and wilful heroine, driven by her blind perseverance to ritual suicide. By enveloping her with a bright lyricism and a supremely refined orchestration, Puccini reaches the heart of his artistic identity â reminding us of the real pleasure of tears. Conducting the orchestra of the OpĂ©ra de Lyon, Daniele Rustioni offers the finest of backdrops to Ermonela Jaho, whose rare combination of force and delicacy has made her a go-to choice in this wonderful yet harrowing role, in which she is making her prized debut in Aix.Production Companies:
