J'ai longtemps espéré que cette superbe production de Madame Butterfly, avec ces excellents chanteurs, aux physiques crédibles, voire avantageux, notamment pour le couple Cio-Cio-San et Pinkerton, ainsi que ses décors épurés, et pourtant très évocateurs, soit éditée en Blu-ray.....et bien sur, trouvable en France!?!?... 💔
