Curtain Call in Madama Butterfly with Asmik Grigorian, Jonathan Tetelman, Xian Zhang 5.07.24

Extraordinary soprano Asmik Grigorian (in her highly anticipated Met debut) tackles the demanding role of Cio-Cio-San, the loyal geisha at the heart of Puccini’s devastating tragedy. Jonathan Tetelman co-stars as the callous American naval officer Pinkerton, whose betrayal destroys her. Mezzo-sopranos Elizabeth DeShong is at the role of the steadfast maid Suzuki, and baritone Lucas Meachem is the American consul Sharpless. Acclaimed maestro Xian Zhang makes her Met debut conducting Anthony Minghella’s vivid production.

The most profound ending of a performance of Madama Butterfly. I am still crying and I saw it several weeks ago.

Could her powerful voice have affected the camera’s autofocus?
