Kansas City Star “Critic's pick”

The New York Times has hailed Houston Ballet as "one of the nation’s best ballet companies." Last on the Series in 2005, the company returns with artistic director Stanton Welch’s full-length Madame Butterfly.

The two-act work tells the story of the beautiful geisha Cio-Cio-San who renounces her faith and her family to wed Lieutenant Pinkerton, the handsome, but cynical American naval officer who is betrothed to another.

The centerpiece of the work is a ravishing wedding night pas de deux for Pinkerton and Cio-Cio-San, which closes the first act.
