Madama Butterfly

Opera & Ballet International proudly presents an Ellen Kent production, Madama Butterfly, with international soloists, highly-praised chorus and full orchestra.

Back by overwhelming public demand, the award winning Opera Madama Butterfly returns featuring exquisite sets including a spectacular Japanese garden and fabulous costumes including antique wedding kimonos from Japan.

One of the world’s most popular operas, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly tells the heart-breaking story of the beautiful young Japanese girl who falls in love with an American naval lieutenant - with dramatic results. Highlights include the melodic Humming Chorus, the moving aria One Fine Day and the unforgettable Love Duet.
