One of the world's most beloved operas, Madame Butterfly is a story of
romance, tradition, and sacrifice. Cio-cio-san, known as Butterfly, is a
geisha who catches the fancy of a U.S. Naval officer. They wed, but when
his tour is over, he blithely abandons his Japanese bride. Butterfly faithfully
awaits his return; when he at last appears, she realizes she has been
betrayed and resolves to restore her honor. Returning to Santa Barbara
for the first time since 2003, Butterfly never fails to wring the tears and win
the hearts of audiences everywhere with its powerful, achingly beautiful
music: this is Puccini at his finest!
