This second part in this series includes interviews and performances by artists Yulan Piao, Zaray Rodriguez, and Nina Yoshida Nelsen, with musical selections from Meng Hao-ran, Naresh Sohal, and Leo Delibes.

This six-episode performance series explores and celebrates the music of Asian, Asian-American and Pacific Islanders, as well as works influenced by Asian culture. Part of the Butterfly Process, Boston Lyric Opera's community-wide initiative to reexamine the history and legacies of Madama Butterfly in a modern context, these moving films feature pieces chosen collectively by the artists, along with BLO Artistic Advisor Vimbayi Kaziboni and director Melanie Bacaling, a BLO Emerging Artist Alum. We invite you on this one-in-a-lifetime journey honoring cultural identity and rejoicing in what it means to belong.
