The 2003- 2004 Season
MADAMA BUTTERFLY
By Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica

Puccini's exquisite tale of an innocent geisha, with its stunning arias, retains the power to engage our emotions and thrill our senses. This simple, yet powerful, account of a trusting young woman who commits herself to a man unworthy of her loyalty is based on a true incident. Butterfly's passion and heartbreak find new life and new meaning in Dicapo's intimate production, which underscores the story's Japanese atmosphere and Puccini's heart-rending music.<
