'Madame Butterfly' - Pinkerton's Aria & Butterfly's Entrance - Richard Troxell & Ying Huang

From Act 1 of Puccini's 'Madame Butterfly' we hear Pinkerton's aria "Dovunqe al mondo" followed by the Entrance of Butterfly. This scene comes from the 1995 film of the opera directed by Frederic Mitterand, with Ying Huang as Butterfly, Richard Troxell as Lieutenant Pinkerton, Richard Cowan as the American Consul at Nagazaki, and Jing Ma Fan as Goro the marriage broker.
"All over the world," sings Pinkerton, "the Yankee wanders on business and pleasure ... He does what he pleases wherever he goes, so I'm marrying in Japanese fashion for nine hundred and ninety-nine years, except that I can free myself every month." Soon Butterfly and her friends arrive to meet Pinkerton, singing of the sea, the sky and all the pretty flowers. (With all due acknowledgements to Columbia Tristar's DVD of the movie.)

Butterfly's entrance is absolutely SUBLIME! It's an otherwordly music! You can feel all her purity, all her dreamlike personality, that delicious Song of Innocence giving free flow to all the IMMENSE love that she has in her soul!

For me ,the whole production is the most beautiful rendition of Madame Butterfly that I have seen and heard.

Where was this filmed? Simply beautiful. Pinkerton is suitably rakish and, of course, heedless in the face of the warning from Sharpless. Butterfly's entrance cannot be done better than this, and although she will come to grief, she seems nonetheless stronger and surer of herself than Pinkerton. The folks at Jack Daniel's cannot have been displeased, either.

My G ! Heaven voices. I have tears hearing this aria.

[@crazyorganist1609]

Not a powerful enough voice for Butterfly. That voice is supposed to soar and she screams

[@Donillini]

The national anthem theme was chilling

[@glenndabreo3581]

The tenor is weak...

Bellísima película, se podría subir entera? La vi una sola vez. Es emocionante, las imágenes y el canto hacen justicia a la hermosa ópera de Puccini. Muchas gracias por compartir este fragmento.
