A golden-voiced Japanese geisha meets an American soldier, falls in
love, and bears his child. Of course it all ends badly, but the arias
are magnificent.
On a mission of democratization, LOpera
de Montréal has decided to close its 28th season with a gratis
performance of Puccinis Madama
Butterfly. Those who couldnt get tickets to the show inside Salle
Wilfrid-Pelletier can watch it live on a giant screen under the stars
At intermission, find out what really goes on back-stage as a
musicologist takes viewers on a video tour where theyll meet the singers
and designers who bring the show to life.
Molta Bella!
Madama Butterfly, June 7th, 8 p.m., Place des Arts Esplanade, www.operademontreal.com
