Question: what is the saddest opera?
Answer: some of the saddest operas (for me) are: Puccini's Madama Butterfly, La Boheme and Manon Lescaut; Verdi's Otello, Luisa Miller and La traviata; Leoncavallo's Pagliacci, Mascagni's Cavaleria rusticana; Giordano's Andrea Chenier. In the end, it would probably be a tie between Madama Butterfly and La Boheme!
