Placido Domingo conducted this production of MADAMA BUTTERFLY, performed in Torre del Lago, where Puccini made his home in a local villa he owned. The story unfolds as the American Lt. Pinkerton marries a geisha in early 20th Century Nagasaki. In love for the moment, Pinkerton declares his intention to someday find a real American wife, and later proceeds to do just that.
