Giacomo Puccini was an unrivaled master at capturing great erotic passion, sensuality and tenderness. Generation after generation has been moved by his larger-than-life stories, his theatrical flare and his exquisitely beautiful music featured in some of the world's most compelling operas.
La Boheme: Recorded live from the Sydney Opera House, this Australian Opera production of Puccini's personal favorite was staged by the Academy Award-winning creative team who made the hit film Moulin Rouge -- director Baz Luhrmann and designers Catherine Martin and Bill Marron. Lauded for its "imaginative freshness" (The New York Times), this intensely romantic tale of doomed love is guaranteed to seduce you.
Madama Butterfly: Considered the pivotal opera of Puccini's career, Madama Butterfly tells the tragic tale of a woman's relentless struggle within a traditionally conformist society and a loveless marriage. Featuring two of the Far East's leading singers, this La Scala production is infused with a stunning Japanese style and authenticity, beautifully bringing to life Madama Butterfly's metamorphosis.
Manon Lescaut: A young woman who is elevated to a life of fame and pleasure because of her beauty abandons her role in society to live with the man she truly loves in the compelling and romantic Manon Lescaut. Staged jointly by the Flemish Opera and the Opera de Paris, this sumptuous production starring the brilliant Miriam Gauci as Manon earned lavish critical and popular praise.
Turandot: One of opera's best-loved works and Puccini's final masterpiece, the thrilling Turandot explores the eternal theme of love triumphant over barbaric cruelty. Eva Marton, one of today's greatest Turandots, takes the highly demanding central role. But it is the sets and costumes, designed by noted British artist David Hockney and his collaborator, Ian Falconer, which make this Turandot particularly special for this San Francisco Opera production.
