Get ready for a glamorous night at the opera: “Madama Butterfly” lands in Raleigh on Friday, Jan. 30, for two heartwrenching performances.

Pairing international artists with our local orchestra and chorus, this iconic classic brings Puccini’s powerful score to life with a world-class production quality rivaling stages in New York and Milan.

It’s the perfect chance to dress your best, snap stylish photos in Memorial Auditorium, and check off one of the most famous operas ever written from your cultural bucket list — all at a surprisingly approachable price point.
