A Tragic Love Story

Opera Circle Cleveland returns with a full-scale opera production of Giacomo Puccini's Madama Butterfly, the classic love story about a beautiful Japanese girl and a US naval officer. There will be the usual bells and whistles: soloists, chorus, orchestra, costumes, staging, and supertitles. Maestro Grzegorz Nowak, the principle associate conductor of Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, will conduct. The performance takes place tonight at 7:30 at the Ohio Theatre. Tickets are $25 to $65. (Niesel)
