Duration 70 Minutes
Subtitles No Subtitles

The performance, a "dance opera," unites four of the most beloved operas ever created—Norma, Tosca, La Traviata, and Madama Butterfly. These masterpieces share a central theme: each main character's choice and fate to sacrifice her life for love, transforming them into symbols of female devotion.

Featuring the most beautiful music by composers Bellini, Puccini, and Verdi, the performance conveys the dramatic essence of each libretto, capturing key moments in the fates of these iconic characters. Their devotion and journey toward death as a form of release unite them in a powerful narrative.

The production also introduces a secondary storyline, with a spoken text that explores the author's perspective and offers a modern take on themes like music, fame, creative fears, and the role of women. It questions where the idealized Diva on a pedestal ends and the ordinary, often unseen woman begins—the woman who is also a source of inspiration for the creation of an ideal.
