While created by an Italian composer and librettist, Madama Butterfly is an opera whose compelling plot and music is intrinsically tied to the rich history and culture of Japan.

This special SIDEBAR from The Atlanta Opera Film Studio features Kevin Suzuki, Cultural & Movement Advisor, as he breaks down the various ways an informed approach to this classic production can create a more inclusive Butterfly for those on stage and in the hall.
