Amelia Island Opera presents: Madama Butterfly in Concert

​Madama Butterfly is one of opera’s most enduring tales of unrequited love. Puccini’s poignant score follows the tragic tale of Cio-Cio San, a young Japanese girl who falls in love with American naval officer Pinkerton, with devastating consequences.

Amelia Island Opera’s concert performance of this exquisite piece will feature Cuban-American soprano Elaine Alvarez. Ms. Alvarez burst onto the international opera scene in 2007, making a break-out company debut with her soulful portrayal of Mimì in Puccini’s La bohème at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Most recently Ms. Alvarez returned to the Metropolitan Opera to cover the title characters in Florencia en el Amazonas and Madama Butterfly. Alongside Ms. Alvarez is a cast composed of some of the finest opera singers in the country and the “University Singers” chorus from Jacksonville University, all accompanied by an orchestra led by conductor Keith Chambers.

This concert-only production of Madama Butterfly will have a running time of 2 hours, not including a 20-minute intermission. It will be sung in Italian with projected English supertitles. The house will open 1 hour before the performance time. Please leave ample time for parking at the Chapel.
