Madama Butterfly – perfect
tragic opera
Music by Giacomo Puccini
Sung in Italian with English
Surtitles
The highly acclaimed Russian
State Opera returns with the most colourful & exotic opera. Featuring an
impressive cast and accompanied by a large live orchestra with over 30
musicians.
No opera can match the
tragedy and sorrow of Puccini's Madama Butterfly. This tale of the doomed love
of an American naval lieutenant and his young Japanese bride inspired Puccini
to write some of his most sublime and beautiful music.
Set in Japan at the turn of the century, Madama Butterfly is among
the most colourful and exotic of all operas, and from its theme of noble
self-sacrifice spring melodies that grip your heart. It tells the story of a
doomed love affair between an American naval officer and his young Japanese
bride, whose self-sacrifice and defiance of her family leads to heartbreak and
tragedy.
The premiere of this
exquisite production, with its beautiful set and costumes, intensifies the
emotion in an already heart-breaking opera.
If you’ve never tried opera
before, you will love this full orchestra experience with brand new settings
and fantastic costumes, exquisite singing, and those wonderful tunes that the
audience will still be humming to themselves on their way home, making this a
must- see opera production for everyone.
This touching story of
innocent love crushed amidst two utterly different cultures resonates as
strongly as ever in today’s world!
