LEITMOTIFS It must be understood that Puccini's usage of certain specific motifs in this list do not always correlate with the meanings I have associated with them. Nor is my listing complete of every single occurrence of a leitmotif. However, there are consistencies throughout the score that I have tried to lay out in a general manner. -Love/Delusion: 14:34, 25:13, 51:14, 59:40, 1:22:25, 1:31:55 -The House (This motif is almost exclusively heard in the first act. It mostly plays in relation to the whole situation of Pinkerton's purchase of the home itself and the arranged marriage.) 0:00, 2:52, 10:24, 38:41, heard many other times. -A Japanese Life/Fate (Plays in discussion or relation to the daily lives of the Japanese people. Can also be more broadly interpreted to represent the restlessness and irreversiblity of fate.) 14:19, 19:35, 1:12:23, 1:49:38 -Sharpless 5:12, 32:37, 58:47, 1:06:53 -Goro 4:10, 22:06 -The Wedding 1 23:04, 1:07:01 -The Wedding 2 (Oedo Nihonbashi, Heard whenever Cio-Cio San corrects people- “Madama FB Pinkerton!”) 31:46, 1:07:20 -Anxiety (This is my favorite motif. It is a modification of the fate motif) 56:49, 57:32, 1:00:10, 1:10:59, 1:45:46, 2:15:24 -The Bonze's Curse 34:39, 34:50, 35:40, 42:09, 45:51, 55:29, 1:30:27, 1:46:00. Heard many times in the last scene. -Anticipation 1:17:13, 1:46:10 -Yamadori (One of the characteristics of a great artist is to bring shade to their portrayals; Puccini's setting of the Yamadori scene at 1:11:36 is no exception, filled with bizarrely beautiful harmonies and orchestration that surprise the listener.) 1:15:57 There are many other important motifs that I will add later.

Thank you.
I've noticed, there is also a "death" motif, at 20:50, and at the moment Butterfly goes to get the knife.
Thank you for you i credibile job!
This has truly saved my work about Madame butterfly, thank you
Thank you! And for all leimotifs - this is priceless! So helpful to discover and study!

Good one
Thank you very very much! I believe this is the only full score video of a Puccini opera on youtube aside from Gianni Schicchi and Turandot
There is no complete score of Turandot in RUclips…
