As the leading lady of Arizona Opera’s production of “Madama Butterfly,” soprano Karen Chia-ling Ho said she is excited to be performing both with the company and in Tucson for her first time. “Madama Butterfly” reimagines a classic opera story told through a post-World War II lens. The story of “Madama Butterfly” follows Ho’s character, Cio-Cio-San, whose husband is American soldier Lt. Pinkerton. As an opera production, “Madama Butterfly” is performed in Italian with English and Spanish supertitles. For the audiences that intend to see “Madama Butterfly,” Ho said she recommends taking time to read the story and director’s notes first to expand their enjoyment, appreciation and understanding of the production.
