Christa Ludwig

Conductor:
Herbert von Karajan

Background: The film was created in Berlin in 1974 to a playback of Karajan's recording of the opera earlier that year. For Madame Butterfly, director Jean-Pierre Ponnelle has adopted his most cinematic approach, using flash-backs, dream-sequences and having the characters 'think' certain lines instead of singing them.

Using all these tricks combined with a deep understanding for the struggles of the opera's sad heroine, Ponnelle's Butterfly is a thoughtful, genuine portrait of a woman lost between rival cultural worlds.
