Modern productions and interpretations of Madame Butterfly often aim to challenge or subvert the Orientalist and exoticist elements. Directors strive to humanize characters, avoid reinforcing stereotypes, and delve into the complexities of cross-cultural relationships while still maintaining Puccini’s masterwork. In this roundtable conversation, hear from the artists and creative team about Opera Philadelphia's new production of Madame Butterfly.
Moderator: Dr. Derrell Acon, Vice President of People Operations and Inclusion
Panel: Yuki Izumihara (Production Designer), Karen Chia-ling Ho (Cio Cio San), Kristen Choi (Suzuki), and Ethan Heard (Director)
