About POV’s Production<br />
The set and costumes for <strong>Madama</strong> <strong>Butterfly</strong> were designed by Elli Bunton, and built in <strong>Victoria</strong> and<br />
<strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Opera</strong> <strong>Victoria</strong>’s <strong>Opera</strong> Shop. The set is influenced by butoh, contemporary Japanese<br />
movement theatre, and created to underscore the emotional content of the work rather than offer a<br />
literal environment.<br />
The costumes are impressions of traditional Japanese dress rather than authentic. <strong>Butterfly</strong>’s<br />
costumes meld both Eastern and Western silhouettes, while the American characters are more<br />
traditionally authentic.<br />
