“A music review on Monday about the opera ‘Prima Donna’ by Rufus Wainwright, in which the character Régine at one points asks ‘Who is this woman?’ and thus recalls a similar question in ‘Madama Butterfly,’ misidentified the character in that opera who asks about a woman’s identity. She is Suzuki, Butterfly’s servant — not Butterfly.’ [Corrections, NYT]
