Opera San José's 35th Season Concludes With MADAMA BUTTERFLY

By:

On April 13th Opera San José's 35th season will conclude with Giacomo Puccini's Madama Butterfly.

Stage Director Brad Dalton (who directed last season's Cinderella by Alma Deutscher and Wagner's The Flying Dutchman) returns to Opera San José for our production of Madama Butterfly. One of Puccini's many masterpieces, Madama Butterfly is as beautiful and vital today as it was at its premiere in 1904.

Performances of Madama Butterfly are made possible by a Cultural Affairs grant from the City of San José and a grant from REYL Overseas.

Madama Butterfly will be sung in Italian with English supertitles. Runtime is approximately three hours. Opera San José presents six performances of this opera, opening in San José's California Theatre on April 13, 2019, closing April 28, 2019. The California Theatre is at 345 S. First Street in downtown San José.

Tickets are available by phone, online, and at the Opera San José Box Office at 2149 Paragon Drive in San José. Prices range from $10 for students, ages 25 and younger with a current student ID. Tickets are $55, $75, $95, $115, $145, $179, and $185 for adults. Box office phone: (408) 437-4450 or go to OPERASJ.ORG.
