This powerful opera is the passionately moving tale of a young Japanese woman's unrequited love for an American sailor. Puccini's lush score is rich with so many memorable moments it has become a beloved favorite with audiences worldwide. Set against a backdrop of cultural contrasts and the rigid binds of honor, this opera explores the devastating aftermath of love forsaken and the consequences of unwavering trust.
