Berliner Philharmoniker, Kirill Petrenko, Eleonora Buratto, Teresa Iervolino, Jonathan Tetelman, Tassis Christoyannis
For her it is true love, for him just an affair. Giacomo Puccini transformed John Luther Long’s 1898 story of teenaged geisha Cio-Cio-San and cavalier American naval lieutenant Pinkerton into one of the most popular operas of all time – and a commentary on colonialism that remains ripe for re-examination. His music reflects both the orientalism of his time and the sentimentality of late verismo.
