Puccini's iconic Madama Butterfly
Madama Butterfly is perhaps Puccini's best-known work, and it stands to reason. Based partially on the short story by John Luther Long, the tale follows the tragic romance between Cio-cio-san, known as Madame Butterfly, and Lieutenant B. F. Pinkerton.
In just three acts, Puccini manages to ellicit the hope and despair of the human experience through the tacit vocalize for which he is famous.
6:00 PM, The American Sound with Jennifer Hambrick
American composer Tom Vignieri’s moving setting of Sara Teasdale’s poem “There Will Come Soft Rain."
