Madame Butterfly is a love story that
reaches across cultures, across oceans,
across time.
U.S. Naval officer B.F. Pinkerton is ashore
in Japan, and enchanted with its beauty
and freedoms. He decides to take a wife,
and when the gorgeous geisha Butterfly
arrives, he is transfixed by her charms. She
falls hopelessly in love, and a passionate
marriage begins.
Years later, Pinkerton has returned home.
Abandoned by her family, Butterfly waits
faithfully for her husband to return. Dawn
breaks on a ship in the harbour. What will
become of her great hope?
