- Summary:
- Renata Scotto's sensational Met debut was in the title role, as the hapless Japanese geisha, Cio-Cio-San. Scotto conveyed every stage of Butterfly's tragic journey: from innocent 15-year-old bride, who gives up her family and religion to become more American, to abandoned wife with nothing left to live for. Seldom has the emotional arc from eager anticipation to utter despair been sung so grippingly as here. George Shirley is U.S. Naval Lieutenant B. F. Pinkerton, the source of Butterfly's joy and her desolation.
