Puccini’s Madama Butterfly at Palau de la Musica Catalana
Barcelona, Palau de la Música Catalana — Concert Hall
About the Event
Immerse yourself in the mesmerizing world of opera at Palau de la Música Catalana with Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, a timeless masterpiece brought to life in the heart of Barcelona.
Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly ranks among the most acclaimed and frequently staged operas worldwide. Few works in the established repertoire captivate audiences with the same intensity as this early 20th‐century marvel from 1904. Inspired by David Belasco's theatrical drama, its exquisite orchestration and melodic creativity, simultaneously realistic, exotic, and passionately intense, have cemented its status as one of the most tragic yet profoundly emotional narratives ever told. This two‐hour production includes a 15‐minute intermission and features a symphony orchestra integrated into the show, along with solo singers, choir, ballet, period costumes, lighting, and a unique technical setup, harnessing the distinct features of the Palau de la Música Catalana concert hall or the Teatre Casino L’Aliança from Poblenou. Over 70 artists grace the stage!
