A clash of cultures that unfolds on the intimate stage of the heart, Madama Butterfly’s gripping drama and eloquent score have made it the most performed opera in the world. A fragile geisha blinded by love marries a dashing American officer who then abandons her. Three years later, he returns with his “real” American wife only to take Butterfly’s son away. This shimmering production—it literally floats on water—comes to the U.S. for the first time from Opera Australia at the Sydney Opera House. Sung in Italian with English texts projected above the stage. Run time is 2:45 including one intermission. |
