Cio-Cio San and Lieutenant Pinkerton have a tete-a-tete on their wedding night. Manitoba Opera's production of Puccini's 'Madama Butterfly' runs at the Centennial Concert Hall in Winnipeg Nov. 18, 21 and 24. The cost-sharing production means a casting step up and local audiences are treated to two international sopranos: Hiromi Omura as the titular Madama Butterfly and mezzo-soprano Nina Yoshida Nelsen as Suziki, her confidant and maid.

Howard Rempel as Johann and Terence Mierau as Schmidt in Manitoba Opera's production of Werther, which Lara Rae says is a strong close to the company's season. The source work, Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther, dates from 1774 and Jules Massenet's glorious French opera dates from 1892.
