Madama Butterfly: Ukrainian National Opera®

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.
After last season’s premier in the UK, we are delighted to bring back Dnipro Opera theatre from the Ukraine. 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 in our 2024 Opera Season.
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.
“Always top-quality productions from this producer”.
