Arguably one of the most popular operas in existence, Puccini’s Madame Butterfly is the story of a woman caught between two worlds who meets a tragic end. It explores the emotions of polarity, the tension between East and West, between love and lust, trust and betrayal, family connection and lonely isolation. In this 100 year anniversary of Puccini's death, Divaria is thrilled to present a multi-disciplinary adaptation of Madame Butterfly featuring an extremely talented international cast including Metropolitan Opera tenor and Grammy Award Winner Errin Brooks as Pinkerton, Michael Nansel as Sharpless, Anna Tonna as Suzuki, John Easterlin as Goro and Ashley Galvani Bell in the title role but also gifted local artists including members of Suffolk Symphonic Choir. This production, directed by Bay Street favorite J.A. Diaz, will explore the historical context behind this work and America's influence in late-19th century Japan.
