Madama Butterfly at  Vienna State Opera

Madama Butterfly at the Vienna State Opera

The young geisha Cio-Cio-San gives up everything to marry the American naval officer Pinkerton — who sees the wedding as a passing amusement. Through years of waiting, crowned by the aria “Un bel dì vedremo” and the Humming Chorus, Butterfly’s hope survives until the truth arrives in the harbour. Puccini’s most heartbreaking score.
