Opera -Madama Butterfly
Today March 7. Live from the Met.
Puccini, the Tuscan master. American content. Opera lovers should check out Bill Richardson's show on the CBC. |

Ah, and intriguing but classic piece. Sung in Italian (as they all should be..ehem...Wagner...), about an American serviceman playing a role in a Japanese tragedy.
Only an opera could pull that off.

I took a class in college focused on the operas which have sprung from non-operatic material, e.g. Madame Butterfly, Der Rosenkavalier, Lucia di Lammermoor etc. Now I make a point of researching the original material and libretto before seeing an opera.
