Madama Butterfly at QPAC
QPAC is brisbanes cultural centre. Yesterday we took the opportunity to see the famous Madama Butterfly.
It is a dramatic story of East and West with Cio-Cio-San, a beautiful young geisha who weds an American naval officer, Lieutenant Pinkerton. Forsaking her own traditions, she is convinced that his love will bring her a better life. She later learns the heartbreaking truth that her beloved’s loyalties lie elsewhere, when he sails back after three years' absence with a "real" American bride.
As many other operas it all ends in tragedy and tears. But the performance was very good.
