Madame Butterfly (three-act opera) Ginny. Ilica and Giacosa adapted from Belas's play. 1904 February 17 premiered in Milan. Plot: The innocent and lively Japanese girl Qiaoqiao Sang, known as "Butterfly Girl", abandoned traditional religious beliefs for love and committed herself to Captain Pinkel of the US Navy. Shortly after the marriage, Pinkel returned to China with the ship, and there was no news for three years. Qiaoqiaosang firmly believes that one day he will return to his arms in trouble. When Pink returned to China, he married another woman and left Mrs Butterfly. When he and the American lady returned to Nagasaki, the tragedy inevitably happened: Mrs. Butterfly, who had been waiting all night in a wedding dress, finally understood everything. She handed over her clever son, and when Pinkel arrived, she kissed herself with a sword. This is a lyric tragedy. Puccini directly used Japanese folk songs such as Edo Japanese Bridge, Empress of Vietnam, Sakura and so on to express Madame Butterfly's geisha identity and childish psychology, which has a unique musical color. At the end of the first act, after the wedding of Pinkel and Mrs. Butterfly, there is a beautiful and smooth duet expressing love. Among them, Mrs Butterfly's pure, gentle, timid and embarrassed feelings are intertwined with Pinkel's passionate love words, which melt into a kind of * * * passion and finally end in a clear and passionate love theme. When Pinkel returns to China in the second act, the maid doesn't believe that he will come back. Mrs. Butterfly, who is loyal to love, explained to her, while imagining the happy scene of her husband returning by warship on a sunny morning. Facing the sea, she sang the famous aria Sunny Days with deep affection. Here, the author reveals the strong yearning for happiness in Mrs. Butterfly's heart in detail with the lyric melody recited. Especially when Mrs. Butterfly sings "Who's here? Who's here? ",the tune changed from a steady 2/4 beat to a rapid 4/8 beat, and the tone and words became more and more dense, almost vivid, vividly outlining her urgent and sincere mood of looking forward to her husband's return. This broad and beautiful melody intersects with the expressive and almost speaking voice, forming the unique style of Puccini's drama.
