Diane Keaton remained one of Hollywood's quirkiest and most beloved actors decades after her Academy Award-winning performance in the movie Annie Hall.

The entrancing story of an innocent Japanese girl who gives her heart to a fickle American naval officer, there's a reason why this opera is one of the most performed around the world. It's a moving tale of love, loss, and longing, captured by operatic beauty at its most melodramatic. Giacomo Puccini's sweeping score features some of the most beautiful melodies ever written, with soaring vocal lines expressing every human emotion. This unique production brings the story to life in a new, magical way by incorporating ballet into this classic Italian opera. The title character gets her wings as a butterfly by dancing on her toes. Leading lady Cio-cio-san (Japanese for "butterfly") is represented by a ballerina butterfly in a dream ballet, fluttering and soaring as she tries to escape her fate of being pinned in a box. This production is presented by Cinballera Entertainment, a non-profit performing arts company based in San Diego County which is now entering its third season. This company was founded by prodigious artist sisters Tiffany and Rebekah Brannan, who both specialize in opera and ballet. Cinballera (pronounced cheen-ball-er-a) specializes in performances which blend classical opera and original ballet with retro Hollywood inspiration. In their first two seasons, they have produced over a dozen original productions throughout Southern California, bringing fresh yet tasteful creativity to timeless tales. This production will be performed in Italian with silent film-style title cards projected for translation. Cinballera Entertainment on Facebook / Instagram
