With direction by Academy Award winner Anthony Minghella and a first-rate ensemble, this production transports audiences to early 20th-century Nagasaki for a timeless story of devotion and loss.
A Classic Opera with Lasting Impact

The performance is conducted by Xian Zhang, whose musical leadership elevates Puccini’s score with passion and precision.
Stagecraft and Visual Splendor
This acclaimed production is visually striking, featuring set designs by Michael Levine and exquisite costumes by Han Feng. Minghella’s direction infuses the performance with rich theatrical moments, blending traditional Japanese elements with the drama of opera for an memorable visual spectacle.
