Senbla presents Opera International's award-winning Ellen Kent production featuring the Ukrainian Opera & Ballet Theatre Kyiv with international soloists, highly-praised chorus and full orchestra.

Puccini: Madama Butterfly

WINNER 'BEST OPERA AWARD' - Liverpool Daily Post Theatre Awards

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 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'.

Directed by Ellen Kent.

"Above all it was a production which captured the raw emotion at the centre of the opera. Don't take a handkerchief with you, take a box of them." - The Independent

Sung in Italian with English surtitles
*Cast subject to change.
