From February through May, Opera Philadelphia will host a series that aims to foster open and inclusive conversations, providing an opportunity to create an experience that not only contextualizes Madame Butterfly but also contributes to a broader dialogue on the role of opera in contemporary society.

In collaboration with Opera Philadelphia's Community Advisory Council. More information about the council can be found on Opera Philadelphia’s website at www.operaphila.org/community/community-advisory-council/
