Director Frederic Mitterand's acclaimed cinematic adaptation of Puccini's popular opera is the first filmed version to use both Western and Eastern actors. Presented by Martin Scorcese, this tragic tale of a love affair between a naive geisha and the American naval officer who deserts her and their young child is lushly photographed, with beautiful vocal performances from soprano Ying Huang and tenor Richard Troxell.
