The ending is the ecstatic duet of two lovers, as we also get to hear from Puccini only in the greatest moments. At this point, Pinkerton finds the right words with an intense and tender passage, promising her never to let her go, leaving Butterfly in the false belief of an eternal union. In one particularly beautiful passage (“or son contenta”) we hear a lovely violin solo repeated several times, and Butterfly gives herself to Pinkerton with the words “vogliatemi bene, un bene da bambino” (Be kind to me, kind as to a child). Many musical themes emerge and Puccini allows the orchestra to bloom in the most magnificent colors. Butterfly is dressed up for the wedding night and the two enjoy the moment together in the garden.Īn interminably long love duet unwinds, the longest that Puccini wrote.
