Puccini’s monumental opera, Madama Butterfly, will soon take flight, kicking off the Toledo Opera’s 2015-16 season. This emotional, delicate 1903 Italian opera explores the conflict of East meets West through the story of a strategic marriage between a U.S. Naval officer and a young Japanese girl. Will the pair forge romance, or will the relationship simply stay one of convenience? Musicologist, Eftychia Papanikolaou, will provide a free lecture in The Valentine Theatre grand lobby one hour before each performance.
7:30pm Friday, October 2 & 2 pm Sunday, October 4. $40-$90
