| | MEC&A: Ronald Luchsinger - Stage Director |
 | | He was the General Director of the Lyric of Dallas one season and six seasons as stage director, and has also mounted works for opera companies of Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Troupers Light, Jacksonville Lyric Theatre, New Britain, and Hartt Opera Theater. |
 | | Stage director Ron Luchsinger has set up a chilling cultural conflict between the Americans, with their swagger and righteousness, and the gentle vulnerability of the Japanese (who, as the play progresses, adopt American dress.) In the end, Butterfly is crushed between the two sets of opposing values. |
 | | The staging was an eclectic concept mixing modern and period elements such as the use of a telephone, the chorus dressed as keystone cops and mixed styles of costuming. |
