Summary:
For a whole generation of opera goers the beloved soprano Licia Albanese embodied Madame Butterfly. Her vivid and passionate portrayal of the young geisha who tragically falls in love with an irresponsible US Navy officer remains as captivating today as it was half a century ago. Conductor Dimitri Mitropoulos brings out every nuance of Puccini's exotic and masterful score. Daniele Barioni is Pinkerton and John Brownlee sings Sharpless.

E soffito e pareti
Dovunque al mondo
Quale smania vi prende!
Ecco! Son giunte al sommo del pendio
Gran ventura
L'imperial Commisario
Vieni, amor mio!
Ieri son salita tutta sola in segreto alla Missione
O Kami! O Kami!
Bimba, bimba, non piangere
Viene la sera
Bimba dagli occhi pieni di malia
Vogliatemi bene
E lzaghi ed lzanami, Sarundasico e Kami
Un bel di vedremo
C'è. Entrate
Yamadori ancor le pene dell'amor
Ora a noi. Sedete qui
Due cose potrei far
E questo? E questo?
Che tua madre dovrà prenderti in braccio
Vespa! Rospo maledetto!
Una nave da guerra
Scuoti quella fronda di ciliegio
Or vienmi ad adornar
Coro a bocca chiusa (Humming chorus)
Intermezzo
Oh eh! Oh eh!
Già il sole!
Chi sia?
lo so che alle sue pene
Addio fiorito asil
Suzuki! Suzuki! Dove sei?
Come una mosca prigioniera
Con onor muore chi non può serbar vita con onore.
