OKLAHOMA CITY – One other inventive collaboration to maintain world-quality arts and leisure choices in and round Oklahoma Metropolis will come to Rose State Faculty’s Hudiburg Chevrolet Middle this weekend. This Saturday night, June 26 at 7:30 p.m., it’s time for Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly” – aptly characterised as “heartbreaking and delightful.”
Rose State promoters declared the story is one which “has entranced audiences for generations. From the beautiful tone-painting of Puccini’s orchestration to the evocative melodies to its partaking musical character improvement, Madama Butterfly exhibits Puccini at his most expert.” Puccini thought of it “probably the most felt and most expressive opera that I’ve conceived,” asserting his perception that the “music of this opera was dictated to me by God.”
