Synopsis

When the young geisha, Cio-Cio-San, marries American Naval Officer Pinkerton, she

believes she is entering a real, binding marriage for life. Forsaking her religion and

community, she learns all too late that for Pinkerton, their marriage is merely an illusion –

with tragic consequences.

With a score that includes Butterfly’s aria, 'Un bel dì, vedremo' (‘One fine day’) and the

Humming Chorus, Giacomo Puccini’s opera is entrancing and ultimately heart-breaking.

Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s exquisite production takes inspiration from 19th-century

European images of Japan. Asmik Grigorian performs the role of Cio-Cio-San, with Kevin

John Edusei conducting.
