Overview

This definitive recording of Puccini's beloved opera Madama Butterfly captures the emotional depth and musical beauty of the tragic story of Cio-Cio-San and B.F. Pinkerton. Featuring the stellar cast of Mirella Freni as Madame Butterfly, Luciano Pavarotti as Pinkerton, and Christa Ludwig as Suzuki, this album is a timeless interpretation conducted by the legendary Herbert von Karajan.

The Wiener Philharmoniker’s lush sound, the stellar chorus of the Wiener Staatsoper, and the pristine remastering elevate the performance to its rightful place among the greatest operatic recordings. Presented in a luxurious box set, this 3-CD collection includes a complete libretto, detailed liner notes, and track-by-track commentary.
