I heard that this 1995 production of Madama Butterfly was worth a watch, and yeah; it’s very good and free on YouTube.
Written in 1904, but it’s about a wealthy POS American who goes to an island to engage in some child prostitution, so strangely relevant themes to modern times.
There’s definitely some orientalism in the text, but I think it’s still worth seeing if one understands the cultural context. The music is transcendingly beautiful.
