The Public is invited to a free performance of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly on Sunday, November 12 at 2:00 p.m.!
- Washington National Opera – the nation’s opera company – will present a special bigscreen simulcast performance of Puccini’s Madama Butterfly on the National Mall on Sunday, November 12 at 2:00 p.m. WNO will transmit the performance of Butterfly live from the Kennedy Center stage to a huge 18′ x 32′ LED video screen located near the U.S. Capitol. The simulcast is expected to draw one of the nation’s largest known opera audiences and is part of WNO’s continuing commitment to broadcast one opera on the Mall each year, following the company’s groundbreaking simulcast of Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess in November 2005, which attracted over 13,000 in attendance.
