Summary:
"Olga Busuioc’s Cio-Cio-San – a ‘performance of sustained dramatic intensity and vocal brilliance’ (The Arts Desk) -- propels this Festival-premiere production of Madama Butterfly. Annilese Miskimmon’s thought-provoking reading, lauded for its ‘perception and clarity’, updates the opera’s setting to the 1950s, confronting the darker political and emotional currents of a work that acknowledges some barriers are too great even for love. Guerrero endows Pinkerton with ‘soaring, wilful, preening grace’ and Puccini’s score is ‘sensuously and expertly player...under the eagerly responsive baton of Omer Meir Wllber’ (The Guardian). DeShong gives Suzuki ‘sanity and compassion, with a voice of superb authority’ and the chorus is ‘luminous in its humming serenade’ (Telegraph ★★★★)."--Container.
