Cast Creative Edit

Puccini’s Madama Butterfly is one of the world’s favourite operas, and this is one of Opera Australia’s most celebrated productions. It returns to Melbourne in 2012 with celebrated Japanese soprano Hiromi Omura in the title role.

Perfect for the first time opera-goer, this production blends exquisite costumes and stylish set designs with some of the most moving music ever written.

Lieutenant Pinkerton has just arrived in Nagasaki for an extended tour of duty. While he is there, he intends to live well. The local fixer, Goro, has rented a house for him, and hired staff. All that is missing is a little wife to come home to. Goro can provide. He knows a girl. Her name is Butterfly.

Performed in Italian with English surtitles
Running time: Two hours and thirty five mnutes including one twenty-minute interval.
