Madama Butterfly is one of the most famous operas. Puccini drew inspiration from traditional Japanese music, which he combined with adaptation of John Luther Long's short novel and composed one of the most refined operatic works. His heroine Cio-Cio-San is a woman torn between two worlds: between eastern and western culture, between tradition and modernization. Her affection for her husband, who abandons her without restraint, caring for her son, whom he loses and suicidal deaths are the most famous story of despair and longing for feeling.

Director Mario Gas appoints a new interpretation of this opera on the Teatro Real stage at the 1930 Art Gallery in Madrid. Gas launches the show with the addition of a film crew, offering two interpretations: the game in front of the camera and the actual content of the opera.
