In the past I’ve prefaced opera articles with a bunch of reasons why it can be challenging for the uninitiated. This time I’m skipping that part because I truly believe it’s an art form you should be familiar with. The epic scale and amazing plots of the opera canon initially attracted me, but the even more epic music is what really got me. I think you’ll get that impression from my Carmina Burana review. So without further ado, I’m proud to present this feature on Syracuse Opera’s Madama Butterfly. Enjoy!

It’s been another excellent season at Syracuse Stage. I’ve heard great things about Caroline, or Change and am excited for next month’s 2010 Tony Award winning Red.

There are many things people throw into the category “hate it or love it” and opera is certainly one of them. This judgement of opera is based on a few things. First of all, when many think of opera they think of ear tearing voices, boredom and some even picture wineglasses shattering under the pressure of said singing.
