Madam Butterfly - lyrics (Anna Netrebko)

Madam Butterfly - Un Bel Di Vedremo - Puccini.

Plot: Madame Butterfly anxiously scanning the horizon for the arrival of husband's ship. The short marriage with Lieutenant Pinkerton ended when he returned to America and he hasn't been heard from since.

Her maid and friend, Suzuki, tries to reason with Butterfly about the distinct possibility that this man will never return. The tragically loyal Butterfly answers with the aria "Un bel di vedremo," describing her vision of the Lieutenant's ship reappearing on the horizon and Pinkerton himself ascending the hill to their home.
