"certainly one of the best Butterflies of our time" (ForumOpera.com)
Live recording from Arena Sferisterio, Macerata, Italy, 2009
The story of a young Nagasaki geisha who, abandoned by her American lover after giving birth to their son, ultimately kills herself is one of the most popular operas today.
This outstandingly authentic and elegant performance took place in the magnificent open-air neo-classical Arena Sferisterio built in the 1820s. The superior cast is headed by Raffaella Angeletti in the title role, "certainly one of the best Butterflies of our time" (ForumOpera.com), who has performed this role in many Italian theatres, as well as in Madrid and at the Vienna Staatsoper. As Pinkerton, Massimo Pisapia is "brilliant, bold and trim" (L'Opinione) and Annunziata Vestri's Suzuki "outstanding" (Rinascita).
Running Time Opera: 150 minutes
