Music Theater Linz
A “Butterfly” between jellyfish and jogging suit
"Puccini has found a tonal language that grabs us all and hits us in the heart," 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 shouts of "boo" and "bravo". The cheers went to Lange, who conducts the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, and the singers' performances, especially Joanna Zawartko as "Butterfly".
It is probably one of the most touching love stories in the world: in Nagasaki, Japan, Lieutenant Pinkerton has fallen in love with the geisha Cio-Cio-San, whom everyone calls "Butterfly". He marries her according to Japanese custom, but it is immediately clear that he will also marry an American woman. Butterfly, on the other hand, really loves Pinkerton. Shortly after he leaves for America, she has a child with him. But she waits in vain for several years for him to return.
