Madame Butterfly
Opera
O produkciji
Love Capital, Slovenian opera in three acts, reflects the pulse of the present time, in which people unfortunately find themselves more and more convinced that the only true values are money, accumulated wealth and sweetness of power. One of the most popular operas of the entire opera repertoire was inspired by the novel Scènes de la vie de bohème by Henry Murger and remade for the libretto by the Italians Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. Un ballo in maschera (A Masked Ball) is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi with text by Antonio Somma. However, Somma's libretto was itself based on the five act libretto which playwright Eugène Scribe had written for Daniel Auber's 1833 opera, Gustave III, ou Le bal masqué.

- Giacomo Puccini: MADAME BUTTERFLY An Opera in Two Acts Director Vinko Möderndorfer Set Designer Branko Hojnik Costume Designer Alan Hranitelj Lighting Designer Pascal Merat Choreographer Rosana Hribar Puccini claimed that he had poured his heart and soul into his creation of the opera Madame Butterfly. All his life he was referring to it as his best and most modern piece of work. The destiny of Japanese woman, who, failing to fulfil her desire of love stabs herself to death, had by all means deeply touched the composer, since his depiction of the famous story presents an outstanding fusion of his creative composing force and the main character’s lyrical and heartbreaking psychological drama. Madame Butterfly, based on the literary material by American writer David Belasco and premiered at the La Scala Theatre in Milan in 1904, is considered one of the most popular operatic pieces frequently staged as a part of classical repertoire of many opera theatres around the world.
