Artists are seen during their detailed make-up process before staging the “Madama Butterfly” Opera in Izmir, Turkiye on January 25, 2023. Performing the Italian composer Giacomo Puccini's “Madama Butterfly” opera, Izmir State Opera and Ballet artists went through a disciplined work as well as a careful make-up and costume preparation process in order to tell the story of a young geisha in Japan. The artists in “Madama Butterfly” first spend time in make-up artist Nurhan Akay's chair for a look that reflects Japanese traditions, then put on their kimonos and prepare for the performance.
