«Un bel dì, vedremo» Madama Butterfly (la celebre “tragedia giapponese” di Giacomo Puccini) tornare in Arena nell’evocativo allestimento di Franco Zeffirelli, impreziosito dai costumi del Premio Oscar Emi Wada. O meglio, potremo ammirarla per quattro serate, dal 12 agosto al 7 settembre.

Preparate il kimono… e  i fazzoletti perché poche storie sono commoventi come quella di Cio-Cio-San, la geisha quindicenne che (volendo riscattarsi da un vita di miserie) accetta un matrimonio farsa con il tenente Pinkerton, se ne innamora perdutamente (mentre lui la considera un passatempo) e, pur di mantenere fede all’impegno, è disposta a rinunciare a tutto.

«Un bel dì, we will see» Madama Butterfly (the famous “Japanese tragedy” by Giacomo Puccini ) return to the Arena in the evocative staging by Franco Zeffirelli , embellished by the costumes of Oscar-winning Emi Wada. Or rather, we will be able to admire it for four evenings, from 12 August to 7 September.

Get your kimono ready… and your handkerchiefs because few stories are as moving as that of Cio-Cio-San , the fifteen-year-old geisha who (wanting to redeem herself from a life of misery) accepts a sham marriage with Lieutenant Pinkerton , falls madly in love with her (while he considers it a pastime) and, in order to keep faith with the commitment, is willing to give up everything.
