Ep. 19: Madama Butterfly - Talking About Opera
This Friday, February 19 is the Met\u2019s season premiere of Anthony Minghella\u2019s celebrated production of Madama Butterfly. In anticipation of this premiere, we are once again reaching into the Talking About Opera archives to present an enthralling lecture given by the acclaimed playwright, director, and journalist, Albert Innaurato. In this lecture recorded in 1997, Mr. Innaurato explores the inner workings of Butterfly\u2019s complicated characters and navigates through various highlights in the plot and score. I hope you enjoy this presentation on one of opera\u2019s most beloved works.
