From the chrysalis of a Broadway play and then to film, David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly turns full cycle into an opera by composer Huang Ruo. 

The National Symphony Orchestra's nautical theme includes merry Mendelssohn, the spiteful storminess of Britten’s Four Sea Interludes and the yearning of Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony. 

 Longborough Festival Opera’s ongoing Ring cycle returns to its fully staged form with a triumphant new Siegfried.
