“Puccini has found a sound language that grabs us all and touches our hearts,” says Patrick Lange about “Madama Butterfly”. After 14 years, the popular opera classic can be seen again in Linz. Isabel Ostermann’s production received a mixed reception – with cries of “Buh” and “Bravo”. Cheers went to Lange, who conducts the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, and to the vocal performances, especially Joanna Zawartko as “Butterfly.”
It’s probably one of the most moving love stories in the world: Lieutenant Marine Pinkerton fell in love with the geisha Cio-Cio-San, who everyone calls “Butterfly,” in Nagasaki, Japan. He marries her according to Japanese custom, but it is immediately clear that he will also marry an American. Butterfly, on the other hand, really likes Pinkerton. Shortly after he left for America, she had a child with him. But she has been waiting in vain for his return for years.
