Madama Butterfly makes its highly anticipated return to Opera Colorado, bringing Puccini’s emotionally charged masterpiece to the stage. This iconic opera tells the story of Cio-Cio San, a young Japanese geisha whose unwavering devotion to an American naval officer leads to devastating heartbreak. With its lush, soaring melodies and timeless themes of love and betrayal, Madama Butterfly remains one of opera’s most moving works.
