Madama Butterfly
About the Event
Immerse yourself into one of the most celebrated operas ever and experience a concert version of Puccinis masterwork Madama Butterfly in Lisbon.
In 1900, Giacomo Puccini saw the theatre play Madame Butterfly in London and became fascinated by the story of a doomed love between a Japanese woman and an American sailor. Puccini was so impressed that he wasted no time in securing the rights for an operatic version of the same story.
