For those who do not know, a few details about Madama Butterfly:
Madama Butterfly is a tragic opera by Giacomo Puccini. Set in early 20th century Japan, it tells the story of Cio-Cio-San, a geisha who marries an American naval officer named Pinkerton. He abandons her, and when he returns years later with his American wife, Cio-Cio-San takes her own life. The opera is renowned for its emotional music and has become a beloved staple in opera houses worldwide.

Opera tradition in Tel Aviv-Jaffa:
The Madama Butterfly opera in the park continues the tradition of open opera productions in Ganei Yehoshua Park. 18 years since the debut of the La Traviata in Rabin Square in an open production to the public, and since then every year thousands of spectators come to watch these large opera productions that are open to the public free of charge, a great cultural experience for the whole family.

Translation subtitles will appear on side screens in Hebrew. In the park, chairs will be spread out in a limited number, for the benefit of the general public. The show will be broadcast live on educational television.
