The Metropolitan Opera - Puccini: Madama Butterfly
Anthony Minghellaâs beautiful, atmospheric production enhances Pucciniâs drama of unfortunate, doomed love. Soprano Kristine Opolais brings all of her passionate commitment to her portrayal of Cio-Cio-San, the teenage geisha who gives up everything for Lt. Pinkerton. Roberto Alagna is the American naval officer who does not understand the depth of Cio-Cio-Sanâs love, and whose subsequent marriage to an American woman precipitates Butterflyâs suicide. Maria Zifchak is Suzuki, Cio-Cio-Sanâs faithful servant, and Dwayne Croft plays the American consul Sharpless, who tries to avert the tragedy. Karel Mark Chichon conducts.
