Madama Butterfly

The pathos of this heart-rending Puccini opera about a sweet-natured Japanese girl and the American naval officer who marries her then deserts her has seldom been conveyed. with such emotional directness. A film by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, stars Mirella Freni as Butterfly and Placido Domingo as Pinkerton, uses an array of cinematic effects to evoke their irreconcilably separate lives and worlds.
