This Puccini opera is a reliable pleasure, with a rich score and the tear-jerker story of a beautiful Japanese woman who gives up everything for her lover, the ultimately faithless Naval Lt Pinkerton. For their 2001 production of 'Madama Butterfly', the New Orleans Opera has scored a small coup in getting Liping Zhang for the title role. Hong Kong-raised and Canadian-trained, Zhang is a rising star who was hailed for her stirring performance in the 'megamusical' production of 'Madama Butterfly' in London and Sydney.
