What is the opera music playing in "Pukahontas", Barney Gumble's entry in the Springfield Film Festival in The Simpsons episode 'A Star is Burns'?

Barney's movie is in black and white. It opens with a shot of a Duff beer bottle on a windowsill. Gauzy white curtains billow around it as the love theme from "M. Butterfly" plays. The scene fades to a playing record player, then back to Barney on the couch, a rose held to his nose. "Don't cry for me," he narrates, "I'm already dead." http://snpp.com/episodes/2F31.html Sep 20 06, 8:20 PM

I assume you mean Puccini's "Madame Butterfly." David Hwang's "M. Butterfly" isn't quite the same work. Sep 20 06, 9:28 PM

Specifically, the song is called Un Bel Di Vedremo. NOTE: The soprano-tune sung in Barney's film is called "Un Bel di Vedremo", from Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/A-Star-is-Burns [Note/link added -- Zb] Feb 05 09, 11:54 PM
