Madama Butterfly traces a young geisha’s life from her marriage to an American naval lieutenant at 15 years old, through determined motherhood, to an ultimate reclamation of self through her culture’s lethal code of honor. Audiences can rarely experience Puccini’s achingly beautiful opera in a venue as intimate as Central City Opera’s 550-seat jewel box theater.
