Wiener Staatsoper

Madama Butterfly, Giacomo Puccini Vienna State Opera, Vienna December 5, 2025 The now-legendary Japanese-inspired staging created by the late Hollywood film director Anthony Minghella in 2008 has been revived at the Vienna State Opera since 2020 under the direction of Carolyn Choa, Minghella's widow. These days, we can see it with a new, stellar cast at the Viennese opera house. Giampaolo Bisanti makes the Vienna State Opera's extraordinary orchestra shine like never before.
