One wall of this mural features the Sarasota Opera House, while the other showcases Cio-Cio-San, the central character of Madame Butterfly, a famous opera by Giacomo Puccini. Bella Arte Studio, composed of artists Mark Bell and Monica Spain, created this artwork on the fifth level. The duo specializes in trompe l’oeil murals, using realistic imagery to create the illusion that the depicted objects are three-dimensional, rather than painted on a flat surface.
