    She waited and waited as her heart broke. At that point she became nobody and so did her child. The repercussions of foreign liaisons in that time. Its so sad when the little boy falss asleep on her lap. She has such hope.

    Just watched the Ukrainian Opera and Ballet Theatre , Kyiv, in Oxford UK, do Madame Butterfly. Moving performance , Elena Dee was superb.. and a rich mezzo Natalia Mateeva..and after several curtain calls, they held the Ukrainian flags and sang their National anthem- standing ovation for them.

    Puccini seems to have based his melody here on the passage from Wagner's Das Rhinegold after Froh creates the rainbow bridge to Valhalla when he sings "Zur Burg führt..." Also, Prokofiev used that opening passage for woodwinds in his score for Romeo and Juliet.....you hear it at the start of the balcony scene.

      Well not explicitly, Puccini’s work here was certainly the draw for Les Mis and this was a way the composers of Les Mis paid tribute to an outstanding composer. If Puccini were alive or if he had not been dead for 75 years, this would be copyright. But his work is in the public domain

      @@EthanWilliams-eh5jc The 75 years after death extension didn’t go into effect until 1998, almost two decades after Les Miserables was written. And the Puccini estate could have still gone after Schönburg and Boubill just like they went after Andrew Lloyd Webber for stealing Quello che tacete for Music of the Night. I still don’t know why they didn’t - it’s pretty blatant.
