At the beginning of the 20th century in Nagasaki, a pleasure-seeking American naval lieutenant (Pinkerton) marries a young geisha (Cio-cio-san/ Butterfly). Against all odds, she is totally committed to the marriage and soon gives birth to a son. But the husband sails back to the US, only returning years later with his new American wife to claim his son.  Devastated, Butterfly makes an excruciating decision to end her life.

OHK's semi-staged production of this enduring tale of unrequited love focuses on the crucial dramatic moments of Puccini's masterpiece. The entire stage will be used to portray Nagasaki and Butterly’s house in the down stage, with costume referencing the first decade of the 20th century.
