Madama Butterfly

Helsinginkatu 58, 00260 Helsinki
Finnish National Opera and Ballet

Madama Butterfly is an opera that will break your heart. The insightfully directed production is an ideal choice for opera first-timers, too.

The American officer Pinkerton has bought himself a wife during his commission to Japan. Despite the temporary nature of the arrangement, Cio-Cio San falls in love with Pinkerton. When Pinkerton returns to his home country, Cio-Cio San must stay behind. When a ship brings him back after years of waiting, Cio-Cio San is in for a disappointment.

Madama Butterfly is an opera that will break your heart. The master composer Giacomo Puccini (1858–1924) created his most heartfelt music for this tragedy about love and disappointment. The insightfully directed production is an ideal choice for opera first-timers, too. Are you ready for love, longing and tears?
