New York City
Boston Lyric Opera presents Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. Set in Japan, 1894, it follows an American naval officer who enters into a “marriage” contract with the geisha, Cio-Cio-San. She’s irresistible: delicate, bewitching in her innocence, and much too young to understand the fine print. One by one, circumstances pin her to her fate. She is desolate. She is desperate. Puccini expresses the inexpressible in music of searing heartbreak.
