Virginia Opera’s season comes to a stunning close with one of opera’s most beloved works. Set
in imperial Japan, Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly follows a young Japanese maiden after
she is abandoned by a reckless American naval officer. Bound by tradition and honor, she
fanatically believes her “husband” will return to her and they can be a family. Puccini’s haunting
score—heavily influenced by Japanese folk melodies—is filled with unforgettable music of
unparalleled beauty that will stay with you long after you’ve left the theater. This ever-popular
opera will feature an all-female, Asian creative team, bringing a new lens to this tragic tale.
Virginia Opera Artistic Director Adam Turner conducts the Richmond Symphony Orchestra.
Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
