  • Ermonela Jaho (Cio-Cio-San) and Marcelo Puente (Pinkerton) perform the duet ‘Vogliatemi bene’ from Act I of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. Find out more at www.roh.org.uk/
    Giacomo Puccini was entranced by David Belasco’s play Madame Butterfly (based on a popular short story by John Luther Long) when he saw it in London in 1900. He collaborated with librettists Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa (with whom he had created La bohème and Tosca) to adapt Cio-Cio-San’s (Butterfly’s) tragic tale for the operatic stage. Although the premiere at La Scala, Milan, in 1904 was poorly received, that same year Puccini revised and restaged the opera for performances in Brescia, to great acclaim. Madama Butterfly quickly became a hugely popular opera with performers and audiences alike, and remains one of Puccini’s best-loved works.
    Puccini drew on Japanese folk melodies for the score, one of his most evocative and atmospheric. In Act I, Cio-Cio-San expresses her radiant happiness in ‘Ancora un passo’, and the lovers rapturously declare their love for each other in the passionate duet ‘Viene la sera… vogliatemi bene’. In Act II, set three years later, the dominant mood is one of yearning; in her Act II aria ‘Un bel dì vedremo’ Cio-Cio-San longs for the ‘fine day’ when her husband will return to her.

    Ermonela Jaho et Marcelo Puente, un superbe couple parfaitement plausible...Jaho diversifiant son chant à l'infini, incarne une Cio-Cio-San émouvante par sa fragilité, son extrême jeunesse, ses joies qui sont un peu celles d'une enfant, mais aussi ses inquiétudes, et tout cela sans le moindre soupçon de mièvrerie ... Quand à Puente, ce jeune ténor scintillant, qui ne surjoue pas son rôle qui à priori, n'est pas des plus sympathiques, il offre à sa partenaire une réplique ductile, ardente, virile...Et dans ce merveilleux duo d'amour du 1er acte, l'un des plus beaux du répertoire lyrique, leur voix s"accordent merveilleusement bien...Ce qui fait qu'on y croit vraiment...Il faut ajouter à cette réussite la Suzuki d'Elizabeth Deshong, et la direction du grand chef, Antonio Pappano...Une représentation du Covent Garden qui existe en DVD et en Blu-ray....

      @@jeremybrown9824 I just listened to Scotto sing Butterfly in '86, albeit towards the end of her career, and her Buterfly's entrance is truly shocking, breathy, pitchy and no attempt at the high D crescendo. I also then listened to her singing the love duet, a black and white piece of film so I'm guessing her prime years, and again, awful, pitchy with a weak and feeble crescendo that's like something I'd expect to see in a provincial production. How anybody could listen to that, then Jaho, who is pitch perfect from the time she walks onto the stage until the curtain call, and who floats and hits notes with warble-less perfection, such beauty of voice, is unfathomable to me. I think Scotto and Tebaldi are the two most overrated sopranos in opera history.

    CC works! She basically says that in America, she hears that they stick a pin through a butterfly and stick it to a board (absurd concept to her). Then the guy says that they do it so it won't fly away. Get it? *Even the butterfly's want to get out of America* but Americans will kill the little beauty there is there. (NOTE: The butterfly stuff is really about the false Christianity that claims a third of Americans, but addressing that topic would be be far too lengthy. The truth is the bad seed world wide was cast away to America long ago. If this was not, Europe would not be civilized. America is a refuse for criminals and heretics which all countries cast their bad seed - and yes this includes Africa, all the way to Cuba, to Russia, to South America. These countries cast them out. This concept is implied in many, many British movies until this day if you know what to look for.)

She has no power, totally drowned out by the tenor Roberto alagna, she has no real range, her ending to the love duet is 2nd rate with no top note and no ability to hold the limited top note that she has.

It is all about emotions and Mrs. Opolais is a powerhouse to me, a fantastic singer with incredible acting skills and unparallel beauty. As for Alagna, he had never sang the role but had to walk into the production after Kaufmann cancelled. He was a bit off and loud at times which wasn't Kristine's fault anyway.

      I hear you, but i still say that in no way can Kristines Butterfly compete in any way with Jaho. I saw jahos Butterfly in London then I flew from London all the way to New York in April this year to sea it again at the Met, where again she brought the house down. Her voice filled the Met and it was a triumph. I don't fly 3,000 miles for any old singer, Jaho is special and puts every ounce of her soul into her performance, leaving her and the audience drained at the end of it. I agree that it isn't about perfect range, Jaho has her critics regards her voice, but it is widely acknowledged that her acting in Butterfly is unsurpassed. For me an Opera singer needs to be able to act and maybe Kristine carried it off, but from what i heard, or didn't hear, her Operatic vocal delivery is lacking for a big role like Butterfly, and I am not that blown away by the sound of her voice either. Jahos voice is not the biggest in the world, but the way she uses it and projects it in an Opera house at the key moments is amazing, her sound is truly beautiful and she gets to the supposed notes everytime, totally on key, perfect pitch and with a mighty power for what is by all accounts is not the biggest soprano in the world.

      I'd be more permissive of stuff like this if performers of color were allowed to don white face to portray white characters and figures, but you'd almost certainly be too offended by that to let it happen.

    Wow. Look at all that acting. 🙁✋Naturalism in opera. Now, please. I’m making an animatic for my role where he is slowly removing her clothes. To me a big part of what is happening is seduction, it is strongly suggested by this music and why she suddenly pulls away, full of fear. I also dislike the use of yellow face. I have yet to see it applied correctly, accurately or sensitively and it is insulting. Furthermore who in Hell wears full geisha makeup to bed?! She has her nightie on. Finally, Pinkerton says he doesn’t like too much artifice in his women. He disproves of her makeup. Ergo, she would not be wearing makeup in this scene, it goes against logic and the text.

    Soprano needs to learn how to project her voice better and stop overacting

    Она действительно хорошо играет, а тенор задрал высоко гортань и ноль игры, вокализирует и как баран блеет
    Ему надо с дыханием и опорой решить вопрос

      Hahahaha! Why would you want a Chinese singer? Are there a lot of Chinese dramatic sopranos who can play a Japanese woman? Why not a Japanese singer? And, gosh, where ARE all those big dramatic soprano Japanese singers when you need them! This is a ridiculous discussion. You obviously have no clue about opera. It should all be Italian singers if you really want to be authentic.
