Testo Cantato In Italiano-Inglese- Full Vocal score of Giacomo Puccini's favourite opera Madame Butterfly . With Italian lyrics and synopsis in Italian English French and German. The definitive version which is reflected in this edition was produced in 1906 at the Opéra Comique in Paris and published by Ricordi the following year. Puccini thus invested considerable effort into the creation of this his favorite opera—and into shaping the fate of theheroine herself a manifestation of the extremes of patient waiting and steadfast love. The music is a complete and masterful expression of the pity and disillusionment that surround the figure of Cio-Cio-San: her absolute butmisguided hope her pathetic pretence in the name of love her miserable demise.

This delightful new composition takes its inspiration from the classic French swash buckling tale of Cyrano de Bergerac and his fight to win the love of the beautiful maiden Roxane. The subject was a perfect departure point for composing a symphonic poem with a variety of musical aspects reflecting the story.

This work is sure to become a standard item in the concert band repertoire.
