A sequel to Giacomo Puccini's classic opera "Madam Butterfly" is being staged for the first time at a London theater and the creators hope they can take it eventually to the place of the original story's setting in Nagasaki, southwestern Japan.
The tragic tale of an ill-fated romance between a U.S. naval officer and a Japanese girl has been gripping audiences worldwide ever since the start of the 20th century.
However, the story leaves many questions unanswered and this is why Mexican-born actor and singer Ignacio Jarquin decided to revisit the story and help create the one-man opera "Madam Butterfly Returns" that has already won accolades and been performed for the Japan Society in London.
