About this event

This revival of Madama Butterfly at the Staatsoper Berlin is directed by Eike Gramss, featuring set and costume designs by Peter Sykora. The production explores the tragic intersection of cultures and the devastating consequences of Lieutenant Pinkerton's casual approach to his Japanese marriage. The musical interpretation is led by Giuseppe Mentuccia, conducting the renowned Staatskapelle Berlin, with choral support from the Staatsopernchor prepared by Chorus Master Gerhard Polifka. The staging maintains a traditional structural approach, presenting the opera with a single interval following the first act, bringing the total running time to approximately 2 hours and 50 minutes.
