The two CDs that come with the book are very good, and the book tells you the entire story of this wonderful, wonderful Opera.

I recommend it for those who are preparing to see the performance for the first time, or perhaps for those who want to enjoy it as I do, time and again after the performance.

I find the Black Dog opera series of books with CDs a great resource

I love this opera book series!!!! They should come out with new titles! Highest praises!! 5 stars!! Go get this series! Run, don't walk. Opera is fun and fabulous!

I brought this cd/book set with me on a recent car trip. I am generally the official navigator and thus also the entertainment director. The driver loves opera and Madama Butterfly is definitely a pretty one. The performances on the CD were stellar so it was great to listen to even without understanding italian or having any visuals and it was very fun to follow along and read the translation out loud to everyone. Reading a little bit about Puccini's life and the history of the opera was pretty interesting as well. I think we are going to be seeing this opera in the upcoming season and this inexpensive preparation for it will no doubt make the experience even better. I'm sure we'll be listening to the cd in the car again.

I had to do a thesis on this play for my italian studies class and I must say this books was very easy to read. I know first year and second year Italian foreign language students who have this book and said the same. Great Libretto!!!

Great seller, Shipped and arrived on time as described, doing business was a pleasure and I dont say this just because...I say it because you are a great person to buy from.

I love the Black Dog Opera books--background information on the opera, full text and its English translation, the opera on CD. What's not to like?
