The opera group The Wedding Collective describes Finding Butterfly as a “re-interpretation” of Puccini’s revered Madama Butterfly. Indeed, their version takes the heroine as the core of its plot – but this is a very different opera to Puccini’s.

They say that Violetta in La Traviata is one of opera's hardest soprano parts. Violetta changes character completely over the opera's three acts – all the way from voracious party girl to delicate, dying consumptive – and the singer must be in complete control of the role to make this work. The musical part, of course, is hardly easy either.
