 ALAMEDA THEATRE & CINEPLEX

 
Presents
The San Francisco Opera Grand Cinema Series
Puccini’s “MADAMA BUTTERFLY”

Sunday, August 8, 2010 at 11:00am & 6:30pm – The Alameda Theatre & Cineplex has teamed with the San Francisco Opera Grand Cinema Series to offer guests the best in culture and alternative programming with a series of 4 operas over the next few months. This exceptional high quality digital cinema experience will be much like watching the performance from a premium priced seat in the San Francisco Opera House.  
 
The digitally recorded series begins on Sunday, August 8 at 11:00am & 6:30pm with one of the world’s leading opera companies, the San Francisco Opera performing Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini, a classic tale of colliding hearts and cultures set in twentieth-century Japan. Internationally acclaimed soprano Patricia Racette is Cio-Cio-San, a geisha tragically torn between two worlds and forced to make the ultimate sacrifice in order to retain her honor. Donald Runnicles conducts the San Francisco Opera Orchestra and Chorus in this stirring production that features some of Puccini’s most popular music. Sung in Italian with English subtitles, the running time is two hours and forty minutes with one intermission and includes a bonus behind-the-scenes interview.

The Theatre presents the series of 4 opera performances on Wednesdays and Sundays at 11:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. including; August 8 & 11 - Puccini's "Madame Butterfly", August 15 & 18 - Mozart's "Don Giovanni", August 22 & 25 Saint-Saens's "Samson and Delilah, and August 29 and September 1 Puccini's "La Rondine".
