Over the course of the 2021/22 Season, BLO will engage both in private and public forums to discuss Madama Butterfly and how to incorporate its legacy in a way that celebrates opera as a multicultural art form.Ĭheck out our previous discussions below, and join us for our last session on May 26, 2022. Ideas and plans continue to evolve, and BLO is intentionally leaving space for each phase to inform the next steps, which may change future plans or activities. As planning commenced, BLO began conversations with Butterfly artists, staff, and community in early 2021, aiming to reexamine the history and legacy of this opera in light of ongoing uncertainty of returning to live performances at the time, alongside heightened racism toward Asian communities.īLO has engaged with community leaders, organizations, and preeminent scholars, both in Boston and beyond, whose work relates to this process. Boston Lyric Opera was originally scheduled to produce Puccini’s Madama Butterfly in Fall 2020.
