Perhaps the world's most famous opera, Madama Butterfly tells the tragic tale of a young geisha girl and her love for a lieutenant in the United States Navy. This full production features a full orchestra, rear projections on three giant screens, authentic Japanese kimonos, state of the art lighting, and English supertitles projected over the stage. The UNT cast, which is composed of experienced professional singers and voice students, will sing the opera in Italian.

Madama Butterfly will be directed by Paula Homer, director of the UNT Opera Theatre. Music Director Stephen Dubberly will conduct the UNT Chamber Orchestra from the Lyric Theatre's orchestra pit.
