From the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Puccini's Madame Butterfly starring Aleksandra Kurzak and Adam Smith in his Met debut. Carlo Rizzi conducts. Puccini’s poignant tale of a loyal geisha and the callous American naval officer with whom she falls in love. For him, it's a fleeting romance, but for her a loving and permanent marriage, even though he deserts her shortly after it. Three years later, he returns, but devastatingly, he's joined by an American wife. Presented by Debra Lew Harder with commentator Ira Siff. Puccini: Madame Butterfly Cio-Cio-San .....
