Madama Butterfly

         The opera Madama Butterfly tells the story to two individuals from two different cultures who fall in love.  The man, who is in the navy must leave but promises to return for his love.  She conceives his child and years pass.  She does not give up faith that her love will return for her and their child.  When he does return, he arrives with his wife and family and takes his child from Madama Butterfly to live with him and his wife and children.  Madama Butterfly is devastated and ends her life.  This opera portrays the message that things do not always turn out the way we plan in life.
