Extraordinary soprano Asmik Grigorian tackles the demanding role of Cio-Cio-San, the loyal geisha at the heart of Puccini's devastating tragedy. Tenor Jonathan Tetelman stars as the callous American naval officer Pinkerton, whose betrayal destroys her. Mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong reprises the role of the steadfast maid Suzuki, and baritone Lucas Meachem is the American consul Sharpless. Acclaimed maestro Xian Zhang takes the podium to conduct Anthony Minghella's vivid production.

I found Asmik Gregorian no where near the great Renato Scotto so I was disappointed with the lack of talent. Lovely voice but nothing else

SINGERS WERE INCREDIBLE, "BUTTERFLY" WAS AN EXCELLENT ACTRESS WITH A STELLAR VOICE. ENDING BROUGHT TEARS FOR SURE. I TELL FRIENDS, "IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN AN OPERA, THIS IS THE ONE TO SEE." VERY ACCESSIBLE STORY AND A MASTERWORK OF MUSICAL COMPOSITION.
