For Classical Music Month, I try to read a couple of opera librettos to discover their poetic craft. Illica also wrote La Boheme and Tosca. And of course, we have to consider the translation! But I loved this opera when I saw it years ago, so . . .

It's going to be a busy fall for reading, but here are some title highlights as we meet the autumnal equinox and also honor Hispanic Heritage and Classical Music month!

[14:04] Groningse actrice Nhung Dam schopt in ‘Madame Butterfly’ vooroordelen over de Aziatische onderdanige vrouw onderuit. ‘Zo zijn we niet’

De Vietnamees-Nederlandse actrice Nhung Dam (40) uit Groningen speelt in ‘Madame Butterfly’. Het is geen gewone opvoering van de beroemde opera van Puccini. ,,We verbazen ons dat mensen wereldwijd nog steeds zonder vraagtekens voor dit stereotype applaudisseren.” Zaterdag te zien in Groningen, 23 april in Drachten.

When Gary Perlman's kabuki adaptation of "Madam Butterfly" premieres in December, it will be the first time a work conceived by a non-Japanese is shown at a major kabuki theater. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2024/11/07/our-lives/perlman-kabuki-madam-butterfly/ #community #ourlives #kabuki #theater #kyoto #madamebutterfly

Stereo just feels so unnecessary sometimes! This is close to perfection❤️ #MariaCallas #Puccini #MadameButterfly

#MadameButterfly oh this is on another album #Fans #MalcolmMcLaren #music

Well that release date makes more sense with being at college & interested in Japanese stuff so thinking this song was cool. But in hindsight, this classical phase of MM was not his finest money making attempt.

Random listen? Because #MadameButterfly ( the original) is coming soon locally I thought about #MalcolmMcLaren #WaltzDarling

Thinks: as I know nearly every song, plus put some on our wedding ( poor people's) playlist, I must have this album in physical?

Wedding: yes, too poor for a DJ, I spent a week making several numbered mixtapes for the evening 😭 not anticipating the chaos of turning them over and playing A + B sides.

Spotify: this is why we love you. #music

As opera houses rework Puccini’s classic, criticized for stereotypes about women and Japanese culture, artists of Asian descent are playing a central role. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2023/07/27/stage/madame-butterfly-opera/?utm_content=buffer42c49&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #culture #stage #opera #madamebutterfly #puccini

„Madame Butterfly“ - damals und heute

Nein, es war nicht alles schlecht in der DDR. Zum Beispiel gab es da ein sehr preiswertes Theateranrecht für Schüler, durch das man alle Spielstätten in Leipzig kennenlernen konnte.

Auf diese Weise habe ich im Opernhaus zweimal „Madame Butterfly“ gesehen: Einmal in der 10. Klasse, und dann als Berufsschüler.
