production of Madama
Butterfly was appealing to
look at, with a set design
which would fit well into a
Japanese house and eye-
catching lighting effects,
including trees which
effectively changed colors to
luminaries marking the way
for Pinkerton’s return. "

Town Topics
To evoke Butterfly’s world, the
sets centered on a Tiffany
glass-like frame with
projections of a starry night for
her duet with Pinkerton and
cascading flowers filling her
home as she prepares for his
return. David Grabarkewitz’s
fluid, attractive staging
enhanced the overall effect
and showcased Los’ superb
acting.
