Madam Butterfly

"Oh, Butterfly! Don't they say: don't touch a butterfly's wings, or it will never fly again?"
This story of the tragic fate of a fragile and tender, yet strong-willed young Japanese girl and her love for a tough American officer has become one of the most popular operas by Giacomo Puccini and is based on true events that took place in Japan at the end of the 19th century.

The great love drama about the clash of sincere feelings with the heartlessness and lies of this world literally comes to life on the pages of this stunning gift book with illustrations by the world-renowned artist Benjamin Lacombe.
