"We're moving toward a full house for Madama Butterfly," said Shreveport Opera director Eric Dillner on Thursday afternoon. "We've been selling tickets like crazy all day."

With a short season this year, the town's gone opera mad.

Adding to the opera mania is the soprano cast as Butterfly, the melodious Amy Pfrimmer. She's a sweetheart, says Shreveport Opera Chorus member Rachel Sicard. Said the Caddo Magnet High School student, "She's an inspiration to me."

Pfrimmer, a Louisiana native, is jetting to jobs across the country - from Florida to Montreal. Her appearance in Shreveport Opera's Rigoletto last year added many fans to her list, said singer Susan Yankee.
