Madama Butterfly

Written four decades before World War II, Puccini's Madama Butterfly has only become more relevant as history has unfolded. This poignant story of a disastrous clash of cultures is elegant in its simplicity, making Puccini's luscious score downright transcendental. The intimacy of this production, starring Yunah Lee as Cio-Cio San gives the tragic finale devastating impact. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
