Puccini's stirring masterpiece

Why See Virginia Opera - Madama Butterfly?

Classical & Opera

A Must see for any opera goer

Puccini's exquisitely heartbreaking tale of a bittersweet love affair is brought to life in this lush production from Virginia Opera that tells the story of Japanese woman Cio-Cio-San and her American GI lover, Pinkerton. When Pinkerton is drafted home, he promises to return, but his word is not as strong as the emotion felt by Cio-Cio, a passion that keeps her waiting as the years elapse with no sign of her beloved. Powerful and vibrant, Puccini's shattering masterpiece wraps the bittersweet plot in verdant Japanese culture and beauty, sweeping you into the very heart of Cio-Cio's world.

With the Richmond Symphony Orchestra, Madama Butterfly stars Danielle Rastri and Jonathan Tetelman.
