A traditional production of one of the most beloved of all operas, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly premiered in 1904 and has enthralled audiences ever since.
This timeless opera tells the tragic story of Cio-Cio-San, a young Japanese woman who falls in love with an American naval officer, B.F. Pinkerton. As she waits faithfully for his return, her unwavering devotion clashes with the harsh realities of betrayal and abandonment.
With its breathtaking melodies and powerful themes of hope, longing, and heartbreak, Madama Butterfly not only captivates opera enthusiasts but also invites newcomers to experience the profound emotional depth of this classic tale.
This
production will feature internationally renowned soloists and the Light Opera
of New Jersey Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Jason Tramm.
