'Madama Butterfly' early-curtain show added

By Wayne Harada
Advertiser Entertainment Writer

A fourth performance of Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" — at 7 p.m. March 8 — has been added to the Hawaii Opera Theatre's production schedule. The early curtain is new, an attempt to encourage pre-show dining.

"Butterfly," premiering at 8 p.m. March 2 at Blaisdell Concert Hall, has enjoyed brisk sales, leading to the extension. The Friday show is sold out, as is the 4 p.m. matinee March 4. Limited seats remain for the 7:30 p.m. performance March 6.

After the four performances, "Butterfly" will tour Maui with shows March 17 and 18. Reservations: 596-7858 or www.hawaiiopera.org.
