Joachim Herz's classic production for the Welsh National Opera of Puccini's emotive operatic work. Lieutenant Pinkerton is to wed the beautiful young Japanese girl Cio-Cio-San (Madam Butterfly). For him it's a temporary contract - he plans to marry a real wife on his return to America - whereas she is deeply in love. Recorded at the New Theatre in Cardiff last month. Conducted by Carlo Rizzi.
