MADAMA BUTTERFLY runs approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes including one 20-minute intermission. Performed in Italian with English translations projected above the stage. A love story of passion, sacrifice, and heartbreak, Puccini?s Madama Butterfly delivers some of the most exquisite music ever written. The young geisha Cio-Cio-San gives up everything for love, only to face devastating betrayal in a story that unfolds with haunting beauty and emotional depth. With achingly beautiful lyricism and gut-wrenching tragedy, one of opera?s most powerful productions will stay with you long after the final note. Music by Giacomo Puccini Libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa World premiere: Teatro alla Scala, Milan, Italy, February 17, 1904
