MADAME BUTTERFLY Opens 2/3 at Luna Playhouse
MADAME BUTTERFLY A Tragedy of Japan – The heart-wrenching story of a beautiful young Geisha who sacrifices her family, her religion and, ultimately, her life for her American husband. Butterfly is the young bride of Lieutenant Pinkerton, who buys Butterfly's love while stationed in Japan with no intention of ever taking her home to America. Written by David Belasco and directed by Aramazd Stepanian.
David Belasco, the author, was a successful New York theatre producer who staged the play in 1900. Puccini's opera is based on this play, which in turn was based on the story by John Luther Long, itself based on a French story, Pierre Loti's Madame Chrysanthème.
