Madame Butterfly: Opera Krakowska

The opera tells the story of a relationship between a geisha Cio-Cio-San and a lieutenant of the United States Navy. While the American never takes their marriage seriously, Cio-Cio-San, like Penelope, remains faithful to her beloved. The long time spent on waiting for his return and her fervent hopes confronted with the cruel truth bring the heroine to a tragic end. The Krakow staging was prepared by Waldemar Zawodziński (direction and stage design), Tomasz Tokarczyk (music direction), Maria Balcerek (costumes) and Janina Niesobska (choreography and stage movement).
