The first joint recording with works by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and others

The sound of an outcry
Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly”

Abstract painting with swirling black, white, and red colors resembling a flowing, fish-like shape on a light background. The fluid patterns create dynamic movement and contrast.

Puccini’s Madama Butterfly is not just the story of an abandoned woman; it is also about the clash between different cultures and imperialist exploitation. The opera’s poignant musical content serves as a timeless testament to the immense human suffering caused by such injustices.
