About This Item
New York, NY: Purple Bear Books, 2005. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Fucikova, Renata. Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to corners and spine extremes of dust jacket; a few scratches to back of dj; otherwise very minimal wear; Madame Butterfly, Puccini's tragic grand opera, debuted at La Scala in Milan, Italy, in 1904 and has been a favorite of opera lovers ever since. It is the story of Cho-Cho-san, a Japanese geisha as beautiful and fragile as a butterfly, whose trust and fidelity are betrayed by the heartless American navy lieutenant, B.F. Pinkerton. This picture book adaptation of the libretto, illustrated with haunting paintings that evoke the story's exotic setting and emotional resonance, is a splendid gift for opera lovers and an accessible introduction to the opera for young people.
