Director

Opera Orlando invites you to experience the enduring story of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, as young Cio-Cio San navigates an impossible intersection of imperialism, infatuation, and maternal instinct. Cio-Cio San is newly married to an American naval officer who almost immediately returns to the States. She is certain he will return to her and waits three years to find out if she is right. While navigating an ever-changing world that views her as a temporary convenience, Cio-Cio San’s devotion and selflessness remain constant as she leverages her limited power to protect her child.
