Madama Butterfly- curtain call - Asmik Grigorian - Jonathan Tetelman - NY 04/30/2024

Curtain call of the 915TH Metropolitan Opera performance of Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly with Curtain call of the 915TH Metropolitan Opera performance of Giacomo Puccini’s Madama Butterfly with Asmik Grigorian (in her highly anticipated Met debut) tackle the demanding role of Cio-Cio-San, the loyal geisha at the heart of Puccini’s devastating tragedy. Jonathan Tetelman co-star as the callous American naval officer Pinkerton, whose betrayal destroys her. Mezzo-soprano Elizabeth DeShong share the role of the steadfast maid Suzuki, and baritone Lucas Meachem are the American consul Sharpless. Acclaimed maestro Xian Zhang makes her Met debut conducting Anthony Minghella’s vivid production.

I went to this performance. Great night at the Met. Asmik Grigorian and Jonathan Tetelman (he's a lot taller and handsomer than I expected) were wonderful. Anthony Minghella's production still holds up after all these years. The puppet of "Dolore" is still heartbreaking holding the little American flag.

Great performance.

I enjoyed this on HD at the Theater in Stroudsburg ,Pa. I'm an amateur enthusiast so my negative comments are few. This was good theater for our modern time . I'd see it again.

The Observer wrote: "After his first Met Pinkerton, a grinning Tetelman ignored the plan and swiftly strode to the footlights well ahead of the rest of the cast, constructively making it all about him. He even outdid fellow shameless tenor showboat vittorio grigolo by eagerly gesturing to the audience to award him more applause."

I sometimes identify with Cio Cio San but would not go to the same extreme. Mr. Pinkerton, not my favorite.🥲.
Un Bel Di, what a piece Puccini left us! Powerful, beautiful in its dramatic sadness.

Հազար ափսոս, որ չտեսավ այս օրը, աշխարհի լավագույն տենորներից մեկը՝ Գեղամ Գրիգորյանը՝ հոյակապ Հասմիկ Գրիգորյանի հայրը․․․

I am sure that his soul was present to see his beloved daughter!

Although Tetelman's voice is great, his behaviour at this curtain call is typical psychopath as he is described by many. He does just show off himself, all about himself. Sickening
