Puccini, Giacomo - Un Bel Di

Hope and trust are at the centre of this aria "One fine day" , from Act II of Madama Butterfly. Cio Cio San (Butterfly) has been waiting for her American husband Pinkerton for three years, ever since he left for naval duty immediately after their honeymoon. There is no doubt in her mind that he will return. The scene she describes is one she has doubtless rehearsed in her mind from the moment he left, but now that she's reassuring her servant Suzuki, it takes on a new immediacy. Includes three versions: high voice (Gb original key), medium voice (E) and low voice (D).
