"Madama Butterfly"

Witness Puccini’s most memorable opera at the River Center Theatre for the Performing Arts. A young Japanese woman’s uncompromising love results in both her greatest joy and greatest sacrifice in this passion-filled drama. It's a chance to experience Puccini’s soaring melodies, beautiful choruses, and the lush orchestration that makes Madama Butterfly simultaneously romantic and heart wrenching. Opéra Louisiane presents a theatrical experience for one night only. 7 pm. Tickets start at $51. operalouisiane.com.
