Puccini, Madama Butterfly in Barcelona

About the Event

Puccini's most popular opera, Madama Butterfly, will be performed with an all‐star cast including Roberto Alagna, at the Gran Teatre del Liceu, in the heart of Barcelona.

Operatic history abounds in tragic endings but few touch the audience's heartstrings as poignantly as the death of Cio‐Cio‐San. Puccini's music is unequalled in its ability to arouse emotion and make us feel the characters' joy and pain as though they were our own.
