The story of an innocent Japanese girl who gives her heart to a fickle American naval officer is a moving tale of love, loss, and longing. Giacomo Puccini's score features beautiful melodies, with soaring vocal lines expressing every human emotion.
This production brings the story to life by incorporating ballet into this classic Italian opera. The title character gets her wings as a butterfly by dancing on her toes. Leading lady Cio-cio-san (Japanese for "butterfly") is represented by a ballerina butterfly in a dream ballet, fluttering and soaring as she tries to escape her fate of being pinned in a box.
This production is presented by Cinballera Entertainment, a non-profit performing arts company based in San Diego County which is now entering its third season. The show will be performed in Italian with silent film-style title cards projected for translation.
