LA Opera's Butterfly "Vocally Spectacular"

Tune in today at noon to experience "the pleasures of four glorious voices singing Puccini’s heartbreaking, passionate melodies" (Opera News) in the LA Opera's Madame Butterfly. LA Opera music director James Conlon says, "Puccini’s fascination with 'Woman in Love' was the alpha and omega of his life’s work," and Butterfly is a particularly moving example. Cio-Cio San is sung by Ukranian soprano Oksana Dyko, Pinkerton by Brandon Jovanovich, and the result is (says Variety) "big and often vocally spectacular."
