Memories of Spring in Kyoto

Rediscovering Puccini’s masterpiece through the dreams and hopes of a young geisha walking in the at night, entering the theater, becoming wrapped in the beating soul of one of the greatest heroines of opera. A source of inspiration for the Special Edition called Madama Butterfly.

She walks as if suspended along the neon-lit streets of Kyoto on a cool spring evening.

The lights of the shops brush against her impassive white face, contrasting with the dark blue silk kimono and its delicate designs of reeds and leaves. A bright red obi wraps her waist like an embrace.

Her delicate beauty is a dreamy vision, that seems to exist only in a world of fantasy.

It has just stopped raining, and the sweet scent of cherry blossoms fills the air, reminding her of memories from her youth, when she was still a maiko, an apprentice geisha, going to the okiya to learn.

As she approaches the opera house, her gaze caresses the urban landscape around her. It seems surreal. The cadence of her wooden clogs on the asphalt accompanies her, while the city pulses with life, the faces of the people and the shapes of the houses moving to the rhythm of her soul.

Once in the theater, she takes her seat, and in the instant, the music of the orchestra washes over her like a river of emotions, carrying her away to another dimension.

The smell of wood, dust, and fresh flowers in the garden scene, the pure, touching song of the sweet Madama Butterfly, fill her senses. The stage lights create an ethereal atmosphere, illuminating the protagonist of the two worlds with a golden light that seems to emanate directly from the heart. Every note seems to flow over her skin like a caress.

The scene before her is dreamlike. She closes her eyes and abandons herself to the music, letting her spirit fly free.

She feels warm tears running down her cheeks as Madama Butterfly expresses her emotions so intensely. She is captivated by the beauty of the opera and its message of love, pain, and hope.

At the end of the show, when she leaves the theater, she remains immersed in the dreamy aura of Maestro Puccini's opera.

The sound of rustling leaves in the trees, the smell of rain still in the air, the taste of the tears that have wet her red lips, and the feeling of the kimono that still embraces her body. Everything seems so vivid.

An interpretation capable of transporting her to a world of emotions and beauty. Now she is aware of it: this was one of the most intense experiences of her life.
