Renee Fleming & Joseph Calleja sing Madama Butterfly Act 1 Duet (Puccini)

Duet from Act I of Madama Butterfly with Renee Fleming and Joseph Calleja. Conducted by Zubin Mheta. July 28, 2011.

This is a Fleming rarity and she will probably never sing it ever again so enjoy. I think it may have also been Calleja's first time singing this. It's from a concert that was performed in Jerusalem.
