Built in 1884, by the architect Miklós Ybl on the plans of the Staatsoper of Vienna, it was the most modern European theatre of its time. For the first time in the world, the wooden stage machinery from the Baroque era was replaced by a metal system operated by hydraulic power.

The building was inaugurated in the presence of Franz Joseph with the works of Erkel. It has been directed by the greatest conductors such as Gustav Mahler and Arthur Nikisch, but also Massenet, Delibes or Puccini who came here to perform their operas.

In 1984, one hundred years after it first opened, the fully renovated State Opera House reopened its doors.

 

With a strong company, first-class operas and ballets are performed here.

Synopsis

Madama Butterfly

Find out the upcoming dates for Puccini's opera Madama Butterfly, and book your tickets now for Madama Butterfly.

No other opera offers a more sublime death than that of Cio-Cio-san, the endearing heroine of Madama Butterfly. Puccini's marvellous music and the ultimate sacrifice of this passionate but neglected lover can only leave hearts of stone unmoved.

Delicacy and restraint define this tragedy in three acts. In the intimacy of a Japanese home, the hopes and pain of a young woman madly in love are expressed. The unspoken dramatic tension, compassion and pity are underlined by an extremely rich melodic line, discreetly punctuated by seven authentically Japanese melodies. The music is at the service of a sincere love and a scorned honour that lead to the final tragedy. The ‘un bel di vedremo’, vibrant with love and trust, is the musical climax of the work.

THE STORY

Nagasaki, early 20th century. An American naval lieutenant, Pinkerton, marries a young geisha, Cio-Cio san, nicknamed Madam Butterfly. After he leaves, Butterfly waits faithfully for him, especially as she has had a son. Pinkerton returns three years later, but accompanied by his American wife. He wants to adopt the young boy. In despair and disgrace, Butterfly takes her own life.
