Cultures collide in Puccini’s poignant tale of a loyal geisha and a callous American naval officer whose fleeting romance leaves only devastation behind. Leading soprano Aleksandra Kurzak sings the role of Cio-Cio-San, one of opera’s ultimate soprano roles. Tenor Adam Smith also takes on his Met debut as Pinkerton, Jennifer Johnson Cano sings Suzuki and Quinn Kelsey is Sharpless in Anthony Minghella’s production live from the Metropolitan Opera New York.
