Back by overwhelming public demand, this award-winning Opera returns in a new production with 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 (winner 'Best Opera' Liverpool Daily Post Theatre Awards) tells the heartbreaking 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.

Directed by Ellen Kent.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.

*Cast subject to change.
