A Japanese maiden catches the fancy of a caddish American Naval officer, crosses cultural boundaries to become his bride, and grapples with a serious dilemma while faithfully awaiting his return. Puccini’s story of tradition, romance, yearning, and sacrifice has been one of the world’s most beloved operas for over a century.
