In her Met debut, Asmik Grigorian tackles the demanding role of Cio-Cio-San, the trusting geisha at the heart of Puccini’s tragedy. Tenor Jonathan Tetelman is the callous American naval officer Pinkerton whose betrayal destroys her. Mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong is the steadfast maid Suzuki, and baritone Lucas Meachem is the American consul Sharpless. Acclaimed maestro Xian Zhang makes her Met debut conducting Anthony Minghella’s vivid production.

Puccini’s Madama Butterfly

Miller Symphony Hall

Fascinating, emotional, and powerful, Jenny Loves Me! is the story of Jenny Graubart, born in Belgium in 1936 to Polish Jewish parents. As the Holocaust began, the Graubart family escaped Belgium to France, then Spain and Cuba, before finally settling in New York. Writer, composer, and performer Michael Levin tells his mother’s story in this one-man show, featuring eleven original songs, which NPR called “gorgeous.”
