Madama Butterfly, Arena di Verona, August 2023

 

"Maria José Siri's soprano voice can effortlessly soar and fluctuate, giving the role of Cio-Cio-San a youthful innocence, that makes it even more heart-wrenching when she is left broken-hearted.
While she sings her incredible aria, Siri's voice reveals the pure, reckless, single vision of the future of a young lady, her desire and the forlorn hope to see her husband coming back to her...
The audience applauded each performer and literally showered Madame Siri and the kid with affection at the end of the show."
