I cried the entire opera because it was just absolutely brilliant. The music and voices went right to my soul. I went friday night and sunday and would go tomorrow if it were still here!! I had GOOSE BUMPS during half the opera!! I did not enjoy the interlude. I'm here to watch Madam Butterfly, not to read about social justice. I also did not enjoy looking at the stage speakers I think they were?? at the very end. I'm traditional.
