About this festival
Cio-Cio-San, a young Japanese geisha, seeks to fulfill her dreams through marriage to an American naval officer. Her faith in their future is shattered by his empty vows and the loss she endures touches something deep within us all. This critically acclaimed production presents a delicately exotic image of Japan. It provides a beautiful backdrop for one of the most popular operas of all time, set to Giacomo Puccini's most heartbreaking score.
