See, the night doth enfold us! See, all the world lies sleeping!

– Giacomo Puccini

Puccini’s legendary opera, Madame Butterfly, premièred in Milan, 100 years ago today. It was a disaster and closed after a single night. But after a revision, the opera reopened to an adoring crowd and has remained a hit.
