Madama Butterfly: “One fine day we shall see”

We’re diving into timeless arias from Giacomo Puccini’s opera Madama Butterfly. 

Here’s “Un bel dì vedremo” (“One fine day we shall see”)

Butterfly imagines her husband’s ship returning to Nagasaki, vowing to wait faithfully despite the years of absence. Listen to the Japanese motives in this aria. #TimelessArias
