Deservedly a towering opera classic, Madama Butterfly is a powerfully moving tale of a young Japanese geisha's unrequited love, played out to a deeply poignant score rich with so many memorable moments it has earned the place of beloved favorite with audiences everywhere. This festival performance stars soprano Elizabeth Caballero in the title role.

Truly athletic performances also abound by mezzo soprano Kim Stanish, tenor Martín Nusspaumer and baritone Raymond Diaz. Composed by Giacomo Puccini, whose 100-year anniversary of his death is commemorated in 2024, Madama Butterfly tells the tragic tale of Cio-Cio-San, a Japanese geisha, who marries an American naval officer, Lieutenant Pinkerton. Pinkerton, viewing the marriage as an adventure, leaves after the wedding, promising to return. The three-act opera explores themes of love, betrayal, cultural clash and the sacrifices made in the name of trust and hope. Led by renowned director Maria Todaro, this production presents a linear and elegant telling of the ageless story of faithfulness, perseverance and honor, all relatable virtues that stand the test of time. Come see the original opera that inspired Broadway hit Miss Saigon along with many other artistic adaptations.
