Feel the devastating beauty of Madama Butterfly, a poignant story of love, betrayal, and resilience set in Nagasaki. And be swept away by the raw passion and political intrigue of Tosca, where love and sacrifice collide in the streets of Rome. Performances feature a stunning string quartet led by pianist/conductor Husan Chun-Novak.
