'Madame Butterfly' come to Tucson with Arizona Opera

As the leading lady of Arizona Opera’s production of “Madama Butterfly,” soprano Karen Chia-ling Ho said she is excited to be performing both with the company and in Tucson for her first time. Driven by a creative team of first-generation Asian women, the show is a tale of love, friendship and tragedy, Ho said.  

“It’s my first time working with the Arizona Opera and it’s also my first time being in Phoenix and Tucson — I’m really looking forward to it,” Ho said. “Everything is going really well — the chorus is wonderful, they sound amazing, my colleagues are amazing to work with and we have so much talent in this production.”
