Madama Butterfly opens next week, and the singers are is hard at work in rehearsals.
Our Cio-Cio-San, soprano Mihoko Kinoshita, will be making her Canadian debut in this stunning production. Having been touted by some as “the greatest Cio-Cio-San”, Kinoshita’s singing will take your breath away.
Joining her onstage in the role of Pinkerton, the dashing and handsome James Valenti will win over audiences with his “robust, ardent singing” (NY Times). He may soon be considered the Pinkerton of all Pinkertons! Click here to see them singing together in a 2008 production.
