The first thing I did was go online to see what the story was about. I read the synopsis first, and then the story was so interesting I read the blow-by-blow account on wikipedia.

Madame Butterfly
Okay, don't laugh, but I've never known the story of Madame Butterfly. One of my students and I were talking about Nagasaki, Japan this morning and this opera came up (it takes place in Nagasaki).
The first thing I did was go online to see what the story was about. I read the synopsis first, and then the story was so interesting I read the blow-by-blow account on wikipedia.
Pinkerton was a jerk. Butterfly was naive. I don't really like tragedies because I always want a happy ending. However, if I get a chance to see this opera, I will.
