The Metropolitan Opera New York presents Puccini's Madama Butterfly.

Extraordinary soprano Asmik Grigorian (in her highly anticipated Met debut) 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 sings the role of the steadfast maid Suzuki, and baritone Lucas Meachem is the American consul Sharpless. Acclaimed maestro Xian Zhang makes her Met debut conducting the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus.
