A forbidden love, an unshakable devotion, and the ultimate sacrifice—Puccini’s Madame Butterfly remains one of opera’s most poignant works. Pocket Opera presents this heart-wrenching masterpiece as it might actually have sounded in Nagasaki, when East meets West. With special thanks to Pacific Opera Project’s Josh Shaw and Eiki Isomura for their brilliant bilingual translation.
