New wings for 'Madama Butterfly' at Tucson Music Hall

Soprano Sandra Lopez has sung the lead role of Cio Cio-San in Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly” dozens of times all over the world, but this weekend will be a new first with the role.

For the first time in about 50 “Butterfly” productions, Lopez will portray a Butterfly outside the shadow of exaggerated Japanese stereotypes.
