Puccini: Madama Butterfly DVD (The Royal Opera) 2024

Experience powerful emotion and an exquisite score in Puccini's Madama Butterfly DVD recorded in 2024. Influenced by 19th-century European depictions of Japan, Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s production stars Asmik Grigorian in the title role, alongside Joshua Guerrero as Pinkerton with Kevin John Edusei conducting.

When young Japanese geisha Cio-Cio-San marries American naval officer Pinkerton, she believes she is entering a marriage for life. Forsaking her religion and community, she dreams of a future with her new husband, only to learn that for Pinkerton, their marriage is merely an illusion — one with tragic consequences.
