Puccini had hardly finished his work on 'Tosca' in 1900 and seen its first performances when a new potential opera subject attracted his attention during a theatre visit in London: the play staged was 'Madame Butterfly. Tragedy of a Japanese Woman'. At the beginning of 1904, the musical setting of this subject matter was completed - the work was a failure at the world premiere. Thereupon, Puccini revised it into a three-act version, and it was in this form that the opera about the unhappy Japanese woman began its triumphant progress.Apart from the Italian libretto and the common German translation, this edition contains introductory commentaries of Kurt Pahlen who also adds information on the compositional structure and context to the musical as well as external and internal dramatic action of the opera. A short synopsis and a brief outline of the genesis bring the work into relation with the composer's entire oeuvre and life, thus offering a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction.

Safe within their cocoons, butterflies only become vulnerable when they emerge to enchant the world with their beauty. Madama Butterfly has been breaking hearts for over a century with its tragic tale of an innocent Japanese girl who abandons her faith and her family to marry an American naval lieutenant. Giacomo Puccini created a dozen operas, many of them rooted in his fascination with exotic lands and foreign cultures. Inspired by a London performance of one-act play by American playwright David Belasco, the composer developed an emotionally charged musical score to accompany this tale of devotion, tradition, and sacrifice. The opera's most famous aria, Un bel dà vedremo (One beautiful day, we will see), in which the heroine professes her faith in her lover, ranks among the most popular works in the soprano repertoire. Dovunque al mondo (Throughout the world) characterizes Butterfly's American officer with a musical theme based on The Star Spangled Banner. Other highlights include the endings of each of the three acts: the extended love duet Vogliatemi bene (Love me, please.); the wordless beauty of Coro a bocca chiusa, (Humming Chorus); and the climactic aria Con onor muore (To die with honor). This authoritative 1906 edition of one the world's most beloved operas features the original Italian lyrics.

(Turandot) and the soprano aria â??Un bel di vedremoâ?? (MadamButterfly). An operatic masterpiece that will go down a storm at anyconcert.Puccini wordt geroemd om zijn warmbloedige melodieën, kleurrijke instrumentaties, meeslepende dramatiek en muzikale fantasie. Opvallend veel Puccini-ariaâ??s zijn buiten hun eigenlijke context aantrekkelijk gebleken voor de concertpraktijk.Voor Puccini Highlights heeft Wil van der Beek gebruik gemaakt van muzikaal materiaal uit de tenoraria â??E lucevan le stelleâ?? (Tosca), de kooraria â??Gira la coteâ?? (Turandot) en de sopraanaria â??Un bel divedremoâ?? (Madama Butterfly).Puccini war zweifellos einer der erfolgreichsten italienischen Opernkomponisten aller Zeiten. Viele seiner Arien haben sich auch als beliebte Konzertstücke auÃ?erhalb ihres eigentlichen Kontexts bewährt. Für Puccini Highlights verwendete Wil van der Beek musikalisches Material aus der Tenorarie E Lucevan le Stelle aus Tosca, der Chorarie Gira la Cote aus Turandot sowie der Sopranarie Un Bel di Vedremo aus Madama Butterfly.Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924) est, après Verdi, lâ??un des plus grands représentants de lâ??opéra italien.

Giacomo Puccinis Zusammenarbeit mit den Librettisten Giuseppe Giacosa und Luigi Illica markiert zweifellos den Hohepunkt seines Opernschaffens. Nachdem Puccinis Verleger Ricordi die beiden hoch angesehenen Schriftsteller und Dichter bereits fur das Textbuch von Manon Lescaut ins Spiel gebracht hatte, entwickelte sich in der Folge ein so gegenseitiges Verstandnis der drei Kunstler, dass die gemeinsame Arbeit mehr als zehn Jahre anhielt. Als Fruchte dieser Kooperation entstanden die Opern La Boheme, Tosca und Madame Butterfly, in denen Puccini vollends zu seinem typischen lyrisch-dramatischen Stil fand.
