Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini is among the most acclaimed and frequently performed operas around the world. Not many operas move the audience like this early 20th century masterpiece (1904). Based on the theatrical drama by David Belasco, its marvelous orchestration and melodic inspiration, truthful and at the same time exotic and highly passionate, is one of the most tragic and at the same time penetrating and emotional stories of all time.

This two-hour staged version with a 15-minute intermission has a symphonic orchestra integrated into the show, soloist singers, choir, ballet, traditional and exotic costumes, lighting and a unique technical assembly, taking advantage of the very special characteristics of the Palau de la Música concert hall. More than 60 artists are on stage!
