Madama Butterfly ~ MET Live! ~ June 15, 4:00PM

No opera is performed more often in North America than Puccini’s cross-cultural tragedy, Madama Butterfly. It is a tale of devotion and irresponsibility and misunderstandings willful and innocent. Critics have called Madama Butterfly compassionate and brutal, colonialist and anti-imperialist, disdainful of Americans and demeaning of Japanese. But audiences are enraptured by the humanity of Cio-Cio-San’s love—and by Puccini’s music, which is at once lush, evocative, and witty.

The story and its circumstances are historically accurate, more or less: foreigners in 19th-century Japan were entitled to take Japanese women as temporary “wives”. Enthusiasts have sought valiantly to identify the real-life models of stalwart Butterfly and her stunningly careless lover, Pinkerton. But whether or not a long-forgotten Cio-Cio-San ever gavebirth to an actual son called “Trouble,” the characters Puccini, Illica, and Giacosa created in Madama Butterfly have earned an indelible place in the world’s cultural memory

All Wednesdays, all at 4:00 p.m., all $18.
