This will be a semi-staged performance in a concert version with a full-size symphony orchestra, sung in the original language of Italian.

One of opera's most enduring tales of unrequited love. Puccini's touching score follows the tragic tale of Cio Cio San, a young Japanese girl, who falls in love with American naval officer Pinkerton, with devastating consequences.

With captivating melodies redolent of the Far East, Puccini's opera blends Italian passion with Japanese elegance, creating an emotional experience sure to draw tears.
