Madama Butterfly

Album by Giacomo Puccini & Renata Tebaldi & Carlo Bergonzi & Enzo Sordello & Fiorenza Cossotto & Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia & Coro dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia & Tullio Serafin

Madama Butterfly is an opera in three acts by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini, first performed in 1904. The score combines Puccini's late-Romantic, verismo-influenced lyricism with orchestral colour and Japanese-influenced melodic and harmonic gestures, featuring prominent solo vocal writing and dramatic orchestration that continued his artistic development after his turn-of-the-century operas and contributed to operatic explorations of exoticism and heightened realism.
