Mario Bolognesi

Madama Butterfly (Madame Butterfly) is an opera in three acts (originally two acts) by Giacomo Puccini, with an Italian libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica. This performance was recorded at the Teatro degli Arcimboldi in Milan in 2004.

Francesco Cileo wrote this opera about the real life Adriana Lecouvreur, a French actress from the 18th Century who revolutionized acting by her naturalistic delivery.
