Opera at the J: Madama Butterfly
Join the Opera Guild of Rochester for another series of opera movies!
This month we’ll learn about Madama Butterfly. The talk will start at 1:00pm, followed by the movie. There will be a brief intermission with snacks!
Madama Butterfly: A film by Jean-Pierre Ponnell, The Wiener Philharmoniker, Herbert Von Karajan, 1974, with Mirella Freni as Butterfly and Placido Domingo as Pinkerton. Puccini’s love of exotic settings led him to compose this affecting tragedy of the naïve Japanese geisha and the irresponsible American naval officer.
Members: $6; Non-members: $10
Although tickets will be available at the door, it really helps us if you register so we know how many chairs to set up!
Location: Auditorium C
