San Francisco Opera is set to present Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly” opening on June 3, 2023.

The opera, which will be conducted by Caroline H. Hume Music Director Eun Sun Kim, will lead the San Francisco Opera Orchestra and production by visionary Japanese director Amon Miyamoto.

In a statement director Amon Miyamoto said, “’Madame Butterfly’ highlights the clash of cultural and family issues but also the abiding strength of love. In our staging, we see Cio-Cio-San’s son, Trouble, now an adult in his early 30s who has grown up experiencing discrimination as a biracial person in 1920s America. Trouble is on a journey to find where he belongs. Can he forgive his father’s mistakes by finding himself? This story illustrates the importance of valuing love as the key to a true understanding of people from different cultures and backgrounds.”

The opera will star soprano Karah Son in her company debut, tenors Michael Fabiano and Moisés Salazar as Pinkerton, mezzo-soprano Hyona Kim as Suzuki, and baritone Lucas Meachem as Sharpless.

“Madama Butterfly” will run through July 1 with the Friday, June 9 performance streamed live at 7:30 p.m. PT. The performance will be available to watch on demand for 48 hours beginning on Saturday, June 10 at 10 a.m. PT.
