Madama Butterfly

"People's reactions to opera the first time they see it is very dramatic; they either love it or they hate it. If they love it, they will always love it. If they don't, they may learn to appreciate it, but it will never become part of their soul." -Edward Lewis (Pretty Woman)

My first opera experience last night Puccini's Madama Butterfly. The set design, the orchestra, the Italian lyrics, the costume design, the crowd, the company ..... Truly amazing! Such an emotional experience. Edward Lewis I think you were right, I will always love it.
