Madama Butterfly

Madama Butterfly

Ukrainian National Opera® Presents  

Madama Butterfly – One of the most colourful & exotic operas  

Music by G. Puccini. Sung in Italian with English Surtitles 

Performed by the Dnipro Opera, from Ukraine 

Featuring an impressive cast and accompanied by a live Orchestra numbering over 30 musicians. 

We are delighted to bring back Dnipro Opera theatre from the Ukraine for our next Opera Season. This opera and ballet theatre has a long-standing heritage of top-quality opera productions, and we are excited to bring it back to the UK. 

No opera can match the tragedy and sorrow of Puccini's Madama Butterfly.  

Set in Japan at the turn of the last century, it is 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 tragedy. 

Though infinitely sad and tragic, the compelling tale of Madama Butterfly remained Puccini’s favourite opera – his supreme theatrical achievements also gave the world its most sublime and beautiful arias in history - One Fine Day and Love Duet, as well as the Humming Chorus which has been popular with opera-goers for over a century. 

This touching tale of innocent love crushed between two utterly different cultures resonates as strongly as ever in today’s world.
