…So it’s a bold move to take a work that so many people know and love, and radically reinterpret it…Julia Burbach’s new Madama Butterfly is original, memorable and highly effective; I’ll certainly never look at the story in quite the same way again…the unique twist ending leaves us with a feeling of a story not yet finished…
