Madama Butterfly, San Francisco Opera
Butterfly's EntrancePhoto by Cory Weaver/San Francisco OperaI feel like every time I see or read about Puccini's Madama Butterfly at San Francisco Opera, a new production is involved. I remember four or five over the last 30 years, which is something, considering that I haven't even seen the opera in fifteen years.I took myself to the new SFO production, a co-production with Tokyo Nikikai Opera Foundation, Semperoper Dresden, and Det Kongelige Teater, Copenhagen, for a few reasons: I was skeptical about the concept behind the production and I actively wanted to hear music director Eun Sun Kim and the singers.Weeeelllll.

The opera debuted, in Danish translation, at Det Kongelige Teater, Copenhagen in 2000, directed by Phyllida Lloyd. And English National Opera gave the work's premiere in English (the language of Paul Bentley's libretto in Lloyd's production in 2003.

Tributes to Russian conductor, taken by Covid
From Kasper Holten, director of the Royal Theatre in Copehnhagen: We are all at Det Kongelige Teater shocked and affected by the news about our chief conductor Alexander Vedernikov’s far too early death. Alexander was hit by covid-19 a month ago while he was staying back home in Russia and died last night in Moscow […]
