Madame Butterfly: The Story of the Opera by Giacomo Puccini

Ugh. Why didn't I see this opera before moving to New York with "the love of my life." From Act I, the male protagonist is an international tail-chasing bachelor douche, and it only goes downhill from there. As is par for the course in both operas and the real world, the loving but sullied woman meets her unhappy end, and said dude in the picture goes about his usual life.
