great things about Madame Butterfly. I heard it's a good "first opera" for someone who's never been like me so I hope it comes to my city soon!
Besides, butterflies are my favorite! lol So I love the title.

Dear ladies and gents. This about courtesans! We all love them and so did the composers Verdi, Mozart, and in particular Puccini and others. They are the beloved figures and stand out as being the only ones with a heart of gold and kindness.
Gentlemen if you wish to go to the sdopera or starlight theater with your ATF who likes music ..will you please make your choice of opera with best courtesan! Check them out (links)
 And ladies, which one would you wish your ATF would invite you to see?

La Traviate, May be it is Eva Bliss singing.. :) Will be shown April 2017 sdopera

Madame Butterfly. 100 y ago many of US marine officers had their courtesans in Japan! Second secret family. That’s the story about. Here she is the missing her sailor:

Lucia di Lammermoor.  Here is the betrayed lady and she is sold off.

Each one will give a fun evening!!
You can easily expand the list if you wish.
Enjoy

If you're going with your ATF to the opera, the answer to your question has to be Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" without a doubt IMHO. Classic story with fantastic music. (Bring plenty of tissues for your lady!).  Problem is: it played at SD Opera last season, so won't be back in town for a while.

It's an excellent modern Broadway musical that loosely adapts the "Madama Butterfly" story line to the Vietnam War era; but it is not an opera.

I love love love opera!!
Madame Butterfly is the one that I would want to see :)

Ah, the creative hedonism and tragedy of twisted love(s) set amidst the glitter and grit of Paris cafe society. What more could you want? What OP would argue that this opera doesn't parallel their life in some form or another?

My personal favorite, off topic, is Norma. No one does it like Callas!

ATFs, please take me to the opera. I love dressing up and sitting in a box. I'm tired of taking myself
