Madama Butterfly
- Pittsburgh Opera
- Benedum Center
Set in 1904 Japan, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly is often considered the pinnacle of operatic tragedy, and has become one of today’s most beloved operas.
Based on the short story by John Luther Long, which was turned into a play by David Belasco, Madama Butterfly follows the tragic love story of the innocent and naive geisha Cio-Cio-san and Pinkerton, a callous US naval officer.
Madama Butterfly is unparalleled in its heart-wrenching portrayal of love, betrayal, and sacrifice. Accompanied by an achingly beautiful score, this opera promises to be an unforgettable experience.
Music Director Antony Walker conducts the Pittsburgh Opera Orchestra and Chorus. Linda Brovsky directs.
