    Puccini's MADAME BUTTERFLY is a staple of the opera repertoire and the most often performed opera in the United States. The Opera Memphis production features a modern yet traditionally Japanese costume and scenic design by renowned ceramic artist Jun Kaneko. Excerpts from the opera will also be performed in a concert version at the Levitt Shell in Overton Park on Thursday, April 22 at 7:00 pm. Italian with English titles. A Test of Sacrifice: Japanese beauty Butterfly abandons her ancestral religion, as she has fallen in love with an American soldier (Pinkerton). Pinkerton is called to return to the "big country" after pledging his eternal love to Butterfly. For years, Butterfly awaits the return of Pinkerton.
