I'm now 75 years old I have known and loved this music since I was 12 when my big sister took me to the local flea house (literally - small country town in NSW) where an Italian production of this was screening. I have NEVER recovered from it. I have studied all sorts of music from 400 AD up to the horrors of 20th century music, and I come back again and again to the beauty and passion of Puccini, and in particular to this opera. No one else comes close for melody that cuts clear into your heart and never lets go. May you have earned eternal rest, Signor Puccini, for the joy you have given to the world.
I had a very similar experience when I was young, I had a beloved sister who was 13 years older than me, she took me to the Mario Lanza movies in the 1950s. I was hooked and at the age of about 8 I asked her to buy me a record of Mario Lanza singing Nessum Dorma and Vesti la Giubba for my birthday. It was 1950s the record was a 78. Only about a couple of months ago my wife and I went to see Butterfly at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville. There were no International Opera stars singing, but the performance was flawless the singing was AWSOME and the Nashville Symphony Orchestra was fabulous as usual. It was a Thursday evening performance and the theater was packed barely a single empty seat. I have loved a Classical music and Grand Opera all my life, I have my beloved sister to thank for that, I am 77. Thanks to your comments I remembered that experience. As I get older I find that long hidden memories have started to come back to me. Best wishes. Oh I should have said that I was born and grew up in England, I came to the USA in 1970 hired by a US Corporation for my computer programming experience. We are lived in Chicago for 33 years and moved to Central TN just south of Nashville in 2003, I still miss the big city and the MIGHTY CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
I'm about your age. You might enjoy listening to the production by New York Pro Musica from the thirteenth century, "The Play of Daniel". Right here on youtube.
I came to opera late in life but better late than never . Puccini is regarded as an operatic " lightweight " but his music and lyrics encapture me completely time and time again .
Nice comment but don't demean 20th century music, many songs and tunes up to the 1960s and beyond have brought pleasure to millions. 21st century "music" is another matter.
@@alansutton2980 Maybe half of what is written in the 20th/21st century is Really good, even Great. The rest is trash, IMHO. To be clear, I include popular as well as classical music. Greats in the 20th. include Morricone, A L Weber, Popular artists like Misora HIbari, Teresa Teng, many others. I won't trouble myself trying to list the trashy. They are way too easy to find. Again, just my opinion.
I am 92 now but as a young airman stationed in Japan in 1957 this opera was produced in Tokyo at the Ernie Pyle theater with an all Japanese cast,it was nothing short of magnificent.
I will always come back to this duet....it is so beautiful and touches me in a way that no other music can do.... I adore this film but this scene will always hold a special place in my heart :) xx
Puccini did so much so much for the listener. Simply add ears and a heart and this scene will smooth out any blemishes and deficits of talent in the singers. But...I love this version, and the film is magnificent. I have known this work for 50 years - Bjoerling being the first Pinkerton I heard. This summer, I will hear it outside at Santa Fe, NM Opera. I am already couting the days - seriously
Bellissima rappresentazione sia per le voci che la direzione orchestrale, recitata con convinzione... Le voci si fondono con grande piacere all'ascolto... Puccini ha composto un'opera eccezionale ❤❤❤
Bellissimo duetto di una poesiia sublime. Lui scaltro ma conquistato Leii ingenua ed innamorata. Bellissimo e grande Puccini musica celestiale. Bravissimi gli interpreti.
Puccini....the greatest!! Parents took me to my first opera at 6 yrs old. Tosca, was totally in love with opera since then at 66 yrs old. It's my life.
Idk how he is the greatest when his works built into a stigma that hypersexualizes and fetishizes Japanese women, girls, trans women and Asian women in general for far too long. Madame Butterfly especially is love letter to colonization and pedophilia. Even my own japanese uncle who is a descendant of the daimyo Mōri Motonari along with so many other japanese individuals have consistently said that Madame Butterfly is harmful and distorts the lines between real japanese culture and exoticism of Japan.
I love this film for its cast and the production values. For me it is so authentic and touching. One of the remarkable aspects is that Ying Huang was relatively inexperienced and unknown, and had NEVER acted (in film) before only on opera stage. Mitterand worked carefully with her. (In interviews she stated that intimacy of the passionate love scenes were a challenge for her.) Also I love the fact that this tenor really is American and captures the assumed privileges of his character flawlessly. The chorus is also spectacular. If you can find the complete version it is worth the effort to do so and to spend time with the full performance. Utterly charming and tragic.
Splendida l'immagine delle stelle che "tremano col bagliore di una pupilla", come fossero occhi che ci guardano dal cielo. Belle voci e buona recitazione
Alberto Hinojosa Quizás tenga que ver con la nacionalidad de la soprano, está compenetrada en el rol y le duele profundamente el dolor de su congénere y compatriota...
Tra le varie orribile torture alle quali Puccini assiste dall'alto dei cieli (non faccio nomi di soprani, tenori e registi che oggi uccidono quest'opera, perchè poi passo per il solito acido loggionista)...questa è poesia di voci e immagini. Bello ... molto bello
I am 75 and my first exposure to opera was Puccini’s La Boheme. Then I saw Madame Butterfly and was hooked forever. I was 10 years old at that time! Thank you Maestro
This soprano is so perfect for this role! And the American, so fiting as well. Plus the setting, so authentic and believable. In sum, a perfect and memorable scene! Thank you so much for posting!
482,885 views and most of them mine I would think,I really think this is the best of the best the whole film is first class and a true story just to put icing on the cake.
chris keeley My grandmother took me kicking and screaming to the opera, but it changed me completely, thirty years later I am still a great admirer of Puccini and especially Md Butterfly. This is just so wonderful.
Vogliatemi bene😍😍 my favourite part of this opera is that scene and I really don't why whenever i hear the part of Cio-Cio san and Pinkerton (vogliatemi bene) there's a kind of goosebump on my skin and I can't help my tears to fall😙😘
BEAUTIFUL VOICES !!! BRAVO !!! ENDLESS THANKS FOR THE BIG PLEASURE !!! GOD BLESS YOU !!! GOD BLESS YOUR FANTASTIC TALENTS !!! YOUR ETERNAL FANS Nadya Mirkova and friends from Sofia - Bulgaria
The last 2:30 of this duet transports me to a wholly new time and space. Puccini was a master. Beyond words. I never will watch the video w/subtitles because I never want to know what it means. It could never match the beauty and strength of the lyric. Besides you don't have to be a genius to figure out what's happening!
Richard Garver yes but everyword is there for a reason. I love it when she says butterflies are trapped on a board in the west and he instantly charms her with a sweet lie. This is the best love duet in the whole opera repertoire.
I close my eyes and go back to my 16 years old ( I'm 55 now). My Mom was a soprano singer and was in the chorus, and at that time I used to go to every rehearsal. Sitting in second row watching the rehearsals on stage and looking down stage the orchestra, I fell in love with one of the first violin players. That was my first serious boyfriend ever. The music just brings back all the emotions of that teenager. Saludos from Uruguay!
I totally agree about the best opera. Also, your point about the butterfly - notice how the music changed from lyrical beauty to dark and sombre for those few bars - what a composer Puccini was.
The lyrics show their different agendas. She says "Dolce notte, quante stelle, non le vidi mai più belle" (Sweet night, how many stars, they were never so beautiful) and he insists "Vieni vieni" (Come, come) because he's eager to take her to bed.
This still breaks me up, so many years after I first found it. Sorry the whole opera seems not available, although I had to ration watching it to the end. 😭
My BF is Japanese and I am Italian. I had explained Puccini's motives for this opera. BTW, Takashi did love the music and has the CD in his collection. When I told him the Hx of this piece he understood totally. Puccini loves women, women of all walks of life and was working with what was available in his time! He is pro- Butterfly here!
@@oleflogger6828 IN THAT OPERA, I TOTALLY AGREE! HOWEVER, THE MAESTRO WAS DYING FROM CANER AND WAS IN TERRIBLE PAIN. HE NEVER FINISHED THE LAST ACT. ( SORRY CAPS ARE STUCK)
@molarmama32 your boyfriend's view on Pucini doesn't represent all japanese people's view on Madame Butterfly. I am a descendant of Mōri Motonari from my japanese uncle's family and even he and countless other japanese individuals have consistently said that Madame Butterfly is harmful and feeds into a harmful stereotype that hypersexualizes and fetishizes asian women, girls and trans women.
un duo parfait pour une oeuvre majeure du lyrisme italien. Bravo aux interprètes,à PUCCINI,mais aussi à F.MITTERAND dont la réalisation immortalise l'oeuvre, les interprètes et l'auteur.
I didnt know the text before. It wasnt complete here but it was beautiful. I have only heard Jussi B. and Victoria de los Angeles, no acting. But this really make another dimension to it. What can I say. Thank you for posting.
thank you so much for uploading this. i've been looking for this for quite some time now. i remember watching this entire movie when i was a child. it touched me then and it still does now. thank you again.
Ambos cantantes parecen haber nacido para cumplir este papel, tienen exactamente lo que se llama "Physique du Rol", que no será imprescindible pero qué bien hace al espectáculo! Y además y por si fuera poco, sus voces son muy buenas! Podrían deslucir considerando cuántas veces hemos visto y oído esta espléndida obra, pero no: están magníficos! Gracias por todo: por cantar, por poner el vídeo aquí, por la orquesta, y sobre todo por Puccini!...
MAYBE IT'S ME, but this looks DUBBED. Someone so... young singing Butterfly? But I love it!!! Madama Butterfly "IS" MY ABSILUTELY FAVORITE OPERA, ...maybe it's because this is the FIRST "COMPLETE" OPERA that my late uncle,...who introduced me to classical music in general, ...EVER GAVE ME. I love that Butterfly is sung by someone so young (accept it, but am critical of older, more experienced singers, patriating Cio Cio San); but this is filmed so beautifully and is hard to ignore!!!
Butterfly in the original script was 13 or 14. Research Puccini 's, The Metropolitan Opera House Trustees and directors told Mr Puccini this was imposible in the US stage, the girl had to be older, Giacomo agree to 15 th no less as this is about buying a little girl in Japan also she was a princess fallen on hard times NOT A GEISHA . You would Not marry a geisha , Butterfly commits suicide with her father's Samurai's sword. This is about buying a child .As it is crudely sang in "Miss Saigon" lyrics "You can buy a kid for the price of a hamburger in Saigon " 🇬🇧🏴
the laws of his own society come back to kick him in the stomach. The expectation was that if a man marries a woman from a different religion or culture, she must convert to his. She did. She converted to Christianity and the laws of the United States. She was loyal, she followed his law. And now he shall live live with his guilt for the rest of his life.
Puccini e sua Luca, he was a genius together with Verdi. Not many composers can make me cry but Verdi (La Traviata) and Puccini (Mme Butterfly, La Boheme) can.
I'm now 75 years old I have known and loved this music since I was 12 when my big sister took me to the local flea house (literally - small country town in NSW) where an Italian production of this was screening.

Me too. 😭
me too have just bought dvd of this very opera love it
Me too. It's so powerful and so desperately sad.😢😢❤
A love duet like no other on stage, screen or otherwise. The ultimate.
I will always come back to this duet....it is so beautiful and touches me in a way that no other music can do.... I adore this film but this scene will always hold a special place in my heart :) xx
My favourite scene in all opera.

Bellissima rappresentazione sia per le voci che la direzione orchestrale, recitata con convinzione... Le voci si fondono con grande piacere all'ascolto... Puccini ha composto un'opera eccezionale ❤❤❤
This is the most perfect performance of the love duet ever.
Exactly! Whatever other grand voices have performed this, none have depicted the heart and soul like these two. Flawless. 🥰🥰🥰
Bellissimo duetto di una poesiia sublime. Lui scaltro ma conquistato Leii ingenua ed innamorata. Bellissimo e grande Puccini musica celestiale. Bravissimi gli interpreti.

Heartbreaking story, outstanding orchestration, and beyond amazing voices. Incredible. ❣

Caitlin Maher But so beautiful, so touching and so sweetly sad ...
agreed wonderful such pleasure
Caitlin Maher you expressed everything I felt watching it.
And neither of the leads had ever performed this opera period before this.
"assumed privileges" because he is American, and white... typical...
Splendida l'immagine delle stelle che "tremano col bagliore di una pupilla", come fossero occhi che ci guardano dal cielo. Belle voci e buona recitazione
The best Cio-cio-san, the most sweet voiced soprano I've ever heard.
Alberto Hinojosa Quizás tenga que ver con la nacionalidad de la soprano, está compenetrada en el rol y le duele profundamente el dolor de su congénere y compatriota...
seriously, educate yourself on opera Alberto
surely the most beautiful production ever of M Butterfly

For me I think it's visually and vocally very well done.Ying Huang looks the part of a teen ager.
I am 75 and my first exposure to opera was Puccini’s La Boheme. Then I saw Madame Butterfly and was hooked forever. I was 10 years old at that time! Thank you Maestro

My mother took me to see Madama Butterfly at Covent Garden when I was 8, but I was too young to appreciate it. Pity.
Nice performance by Richard Troxell and Ying Huang.

Plus in the music both the tenor and the soprano sing the high C.
I love the music from this opera! I even wrote an essay about Cho CHo San's Aria and what it represented.
for Classic Music,Puccini was my best songs writer,lots of emotions
BEAUTIFUL VOICES !!! BRAVO !!! ENDLESS THANKS FOR THE BIG PLEASURE !!! GOD BLESS YOU !!! GOD BLESS YOUR FANTASTIC TALENTS !!! YOUR ETERNAL FANS Nadya Mirkova and friends from Sofia - Bulgaria
Only an Italian can make such a beautiful story.

凄い！良くある西洋人がイメージした原色でけばけばしくて、下品なふざけた日本の世界観ではないですね。かなり本物に近い「日本」という国を描いていただいて心から感謝致します！
それについて知りません。私のおじさんはマダム・バタフライが多くのアメリカ人男性に、彼らが日本の女性がそうであると思い込んで彼女たちに欲望を抱き、そして殺すことを引き起こしたと言っていました。

She converted to Christianity and the laws of the United States. She was loyal, she followed his law. And now he shall live live with his guilt for the rest of his life.
I don't think this particular person is capable of even feeling much guilt. Nothing more than some passing uneasiness. He's extremely thick-skinned.
He's considered one of the biggest assholes in the tenor range, along with the Duke of Mantua.
Puccini e sua Luca, he was a genius together with Verdi. Not many composers can make me cry but Verdi (La Traviata) and Puccini (Mme Butterfly, La Boheme) can.
Bravissimi!!!
