According to the Tokyo Nikikai information, "Madama Butterfly" directed by KURIYAMA Masayoshi was first performed in 2003. It has been performed five times since then. They express that this stage seeks “Japanese beauty” in not only the stage setting and costumes but also the performers' delicate gestures. When you see “Madama Butterfly” abroad, you would feel “What is this?!” to the production with impossible situations. So, you will be relieved to see “Madama Butterfly” in this production. Please do not miss the conduction by the conductor, Andrea BATTISTONI as well as the performance by JO Hironori.
