On July 21, 2024, the Teatro Real de Madrid is set to stream Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly” on My Opera Player.

The opera will be shown in a production by Damiano Michieletto and conducted by Nicola Luisotti.

Ailyn Pérez will star in the title role alongside Charles Castronovo as Pinkerton. Lucas Meachem will sing the role of Sharpless and Nino Surguladze will take on the role of Suzuki.

Regarding her turn as Butterfly critics raved and said, Perez “sang her ‘un bel dì’ with genuine feeling, finding a beauty of tone and understanding of the text that was deeply affecting.” Castronovo also received acclaim with critics noting, “He managed to combine swagger, thorough his gleaming top, with sensitivity in the way that he pulled back on the dynamics in the love duet.”

To watch the stream, audiences will need a subscription to My Opera Player.

“Madama Butterfly” runs through July 22 with Saioa Hernández singing the final performance.
