About

A love story of passion, sacrifice, and heartbreak, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly delivers some of the most exquisite music ever written. The young geisha Cio-Cio-San gives up everything for love, only to face devastating betrayal in a story that unfolds with haunting beauty and emotional depth. 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.
