Cowboys & Culture is a uniquely Fort Worth celebration of art, music, and the spirit of the American West. Presented during the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo season in partnership with the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, this operatic showcase features Western-themed repertoire performed by Fort Worth Opera’s Hattie Mae Lesley Resident Artists, along with special appearances by familiar friends of the company. The event captures the heart of the city’s identity and offers a rich musical tribute to the place we proudly call Cowtown.

Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly returns to Bass Performance Hall in a stunning full production from Fort Worth Opera that delivers the heartbreak and beauty of this iconic work. Featuring breathtaking sets, richly detailed costumes, and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra bringing Puccini’s achingly beautiful score to life, this unforgettable story of love, cultural blindness, and a mother’s sacrifice remains as powerful today as when Fort Worth Opera first performed it in 1947. Anchored by one of the most exquisite scores in the operatic canon, Butterfly is a poignant tribute to a woman’s steadfast devotion and maturing will — and a signature work of the company’s 80-year legacy.
