“A vocal, instrumental and emotional thriller.”—The Dallas Morning News

Boasting some of the most famous operatic music of all time, this beloved romantic tragedy reveals the story of the gentle geisha Cio-Cio-San, who gives up everything to marry American naval officer B.F. Pinkerton—a heartless cad who ultimately abandons her and their little son with devastating results.

With stars including:

Latonia Moore as Cio-Cio-San
Blessed with glorious sound and stage presence, this Met star and Texas native has “a creamy lyric soprano that could take her to the top of her profession.” —Opera, London

Evan LeRoy Johnson as B.F. Pinkerton
Tall, handsome, strapping…a voice with gleaming, robust tone and Heldentenor promise…he is a major talent.” —Opera Today

Emmanuel Villaume conducts The Dallas Opera Orchestra in this original production from The Dallas Opera
