Puccini’s Madama Butterfly remains one of opera’s most enduring works, telling a love story as fragile and fleeting as its namesake.
In turn-of-the-century Nagasaki, American naval officer Pinkerton marries the young geisha Cio-Cio-San, known as Butterfly. Innocent and devoted, she builds her life around his promise, until betrayal shatters her world and leads to one of opera’s most unforgettable finales.
Each winner will receive two tickets to see Puccini’s Madama Butterfly at DAR Constitution Hall, on Wednesday, November 18th at 7pm. Three winners will be drawn from qualifying entries.
