One of the world’s foremost Butterflys, Kristine Opolais, takes on the title role of the spurned geisha in Anthony Minghella’s breathtaking production, which has thrilled audiences ever since its 2006 premiere. Star tenor Roberto Alagna is the callous naval officer who breaks Butterfly’s heart. Karel Mark Chichon conducts.

Japan, early 20th century. Lieutenant B.F. Pinkerton of the U.S. Navy inspects a house overlooking Nagasaki harbour that he is leasing from Goro, a marriage broker, who has also arranged his union with a young geisha named Cio-Cio-San, known as Madame Butterfly.
