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 James Valenti and Shu-Ying Li, gives the tragic finale devastating impact.
