The Design

About Madame Butterfly Série de Cartazes

Madame Butterfly é uma série de cartazes de ópera. Cada cartaz apresenta um retrato icônico de uma mulher cantando como figura central do enredo operístico e símbolo de paixão. A série abrange óperas como Madame Butterfly, Tosca e Norma, refletindo o papel trágico e dependente da mulher em seus libretos. Cada composição retrata a cena final, o clímax da história. O design recorre a formas minimalistas, à pintura expressiva e ao estilo Memphis, com cores abertas e forte contraste. Os cartazes são impressos em formato A1 sobre papel cartão.
