Madama Butterfly

Album by Giacomo Puccini & Renata Scotto & Plácido Domingo & Ingvar Wixell & Gillian Knight & Florindo Andreolli & Ambrosian Singers & Philharmonia Orchestra & Lorin Maazel

Madama Butterfly is an opera by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini, premiered in Milan in 1904. The score exemplifies Puccini's late-Romantic, verismo-inflected style with sweeping melodies, rich orchestral colourings and recurring musical motifs that evoke its Japanese setting, and it occupies a central place in his output as a work that helped define his mature operatic voice.
