Experience the poignant beauty and emotional depth of Puccini's timeless masterpiece, Madama Butterfly at Tacoma's Rialto Theater April 19 to 21.

This operatic jewel tells the story of Cio-Cio-San, a young and naive Japanese geisha, known as Butterfly, who falls deeply in love with Pinkerton, a dashing but insincere U.S. Navy officer. Swept away by his promises, Butterfly dreams of a loving future and a new life in America, marrying Pinkerton and embracing his culture, only to be abandoned as he returns to the United States. The opera captures Butterfly's unwavering faith and devotion as she clings to the hope of Pinkerton's return, only to face a devastating truth that challenges her dreams and honor.

​

The stunning production, set against the historic ambiance of the Rialto Theater, will immerse audiences in the transformative power of love and sacrifice.

​

Don't miss your chance to be part of this moving and visually captivating performance. Secure your tickets now and let Tacoma Opera take you on a journey through one of opera's most enduring and beloved stories.
