Madama Butterfly

Pjotr Pegin's Madama Butterfly is an animated opera that did a great job at hitting a number of emotions. The story is about a woman who seems to be on an isolated island who meets a skipper and has sexual relations with him; she ends up getting pregnant. After this encounter he leaves her behind and she waits for his return. In this time she has a baby who remains connected to her through an umbilical cord. One day the skipper does return but he has a wife and kids along with him, he breaks the umbilical cord and takes their child along with him. The child was the last thing Madama Butterfly had connecting her to the man she was in love with; she once again was left with a broken heart and significant disappointment. I really enjoyed the music in this opera, I thought it went very well with the animation.
