Three extraordinary sopranos—Aleksandra Kurzak, Eleonora Buratto, and Asmik Grigorian (in her highly anticipated Met debut)—tackle the demanding role of Cio-Cio-San, the loyal geisha at the heart of Puccini’s devastating tragedy. Tenors Matthew Polenzani and Jonathan Tetelman co-star as the callous American naval officer Pinkerton, whose betrayal destroys her. Mezzo-sopranos Elizabeth DeShong and Eve Gigliotti share the role of the steadfast maid Suzuki, and baritone Davide Luciano and Lucas Meachem are the American consul Sharpless. Acclaimed maestro Xian Zhang makes her Met debut conducting Anthony Minghella’s vivid production.

Riveting dramatic soprano Asmik Grigorian made a major Met debut during the 2023–24 season, starring as the spurned geisha Cio-Cio-San in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. Alongside her in this high-definition cinema presentation, the cast also features tenor Jonathan Tetelman as her lover turned betrayer, the sailor Pinkerton; mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong as her steadfast companion, Suzuki; and baritone Lucas Meachem as the American Consul Sharpless. In her Met debut, Maestro Xian Zhang conducts an evocative stage by late film director Anthony Minghella.
