A love story of passion, sacrifice, and heartbreak, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly delivers some of the most exquisite music ever written.

With achingly beautiful lyricism and gut-wrenching tragedy, one of opera’s most powerful productions will stay with you long after the final note.

Cio-Cio-San – Caitlin Gotimer
Sharpless – Efraín Solís
Suzuki – Lisa Chavez

Conducted by Arthur Fagen; Directed by Francesca Zambello

Performed in Italian with English translations projected above the stage.
