About

This 1961 recording stars a singing legend: Sena Jurinac possessed the dark-coloured soprano required to explore the full range of expressive nuances hidden within the role of Butterfly. She was anything but the submissive Japanese woman who naively marries an American lieutenant, portraying instead from the outset a self-confident young woman prepared to challenge the conventions of Japanese society. She knew how to use her vocal and dramatic talents to convey both the happiness and sorrows that Cio-Cio-San is forced to endure; the person she represented on stage was one whose fate could move us all. In vocal terms, Sena Jurinac had reached a pinnacle that placed her among the world's leading sopranos of her day.

Of the many familiar cast members, such as contralto Hilde Rössel-Majdan, one outstanding talent is the young Gundula Janowitz as Kate Pinkerton.
