Getting Out of the Cocoon: Ana Maria Martinez Conquers the WNO

Raisa Massuda, 12th March

For over a century, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly has been one of the most famous and widely staged operas in the world. The secret of this undying popularity lies in the complex and contradictive nature of the main heroine. Audiences always look for new vocal and dramatic interpretations of the character and keep their expectations high for the leading soprano.
