Kirill Petrenko with Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly”

For her it is true love, for him just an affair: Puccini turned the story of the geisha Cio-Cio-San and an American naval lieutenant into one of the most poignant operas ever – creating music brimming with sophistication and atmosphere. Following the staging of the opera in Baden-Baden, Kirill Petrenko conducts a concert performance of Madama Butterfly in Berlin. The title role is sung by Eleonora Buratto, who has already enjoyed success as Cio-Cio-San at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The young star tenor Jonathan Tetelman joins her as Pinkerton.
