Cio-Cio-San, the Butterfly of the title, is one of opera's great roles, demanding a spectrum of emotion and a voice that can handle a substantial amount of demanding singing. Next year at the Santa Fe Opera, she's set to tackle Janacek's Kat'a Kabanova for the first time, and in 2004 at the Houston Grand Opera she will sing her first Cio-Cio-San in Puccini's Madama Butterfly. Although I have limitless faith in the expressive power of dance, I sorely missed the voices, especially the blended harmonies of Cio-Cio-San and Suzuki. |
