Madama Butterfly is about a soldier from the US buying a house in Japan. With the house comes servants and a geisha wife named Butterfly. The marriage is not supported by anybody who is related to Butterfly, including the souls of her ancestors (yea, I know, weird). So, the soldier marries Butterfly anyway and a little while later has to return to the US. He is gone for three years and in that time Butterfly gave birth to his child and never told him. She just waits for his return. Upon his return, Butterfly finds that he has an American wife so she kills herself before he can do anything about it.
It was super long, dramatic and too drawn out, but I really enjoyed myself. haha. It was a great experience. It was in Italian so they had the spanish subtitles for us to read and it was really cool. Lucky me and this free stuff!
