FREE Madama Butterfly Opera Insights
Join the conversation between Matthew Ozawa, Lyric Opera of Chicago's Chief Artistic Officer and the director of Madama Butterfly, the Japanese artists Kyoko Miyabe and Tatsu Aoki, and Northwestern's Tara Fickle as they dive into the legacy of this classic opera and the importance of retelling and reshaping one-sided narratives. Together, they will delve into insights and actions that we can take in modern society to uphold and honor our proud heritages.
As a special part of the program, Ryan Opera Center soprano Adia Evans and pianist Michael Banwarth will perform the aria "Un bel dì" from Madama Butterfly.
