Synopsis

Schillertheater - Berlin Bismarckstraße 110 - 10625 Berlin Allemagne

No Komische Oper Berlin without the Schillertheater! Opened in 1907, the Schillertheater was home to the second venue of the Prussian State Theater Berlin from 1921. Walter Felsenstein staged productions here in the 1930s under artistic director Heinrich George. Destroyed by bombs in 1944, the artists of the Schiller Theater continued their work at the Hebbel Theater.

Felsenstein's legendary production of Jacques Offenbach's Parisian Life was created there - the production that brought him the directorship of the former Metropol Theater in Behrenstraße. Here he founded the theater, which is considered the cradle
of modern music theater - the Komische Oper Berlin. The Schillertheater was rebuilt in 1950/51 after the war and has served as the Komische Oper Berlin's venue since the 2023/24 season.

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.
