In Nagasaki at the turn of the 20th century, a pleasure-seeking American naval officer named Pinkerton leases a house and marries a young geisha. He is only briefly enchanted with his “Butterfly”, but she is totally and forever committed to the marriage. When he abandons her and then, years later, returns to claim their child, Butterfly is devastated and makes a supreme sacrifice, in devotion to her ancestors. 

Puccini’s incomparably gorgeous opera never fails to give audiences a deep emotional experience. 

Directed by Michael Cavanagh | Conducted by Leslie Dala
