I would be interested to see famous operas like Madama Butterfly performed by real geishas trained in opera. When a story centers around the life of a geisha why not have real ones perform it? Geishas are supposed to be trained in all the arts. I read that they are in decline in Japan so demand for a new genre of opera-trained geishas could help revive the tradition!
