Madama Butterfly started its life in New Zealand, went for a sabbatical in Seattle, and has landed in Adelaide with a stellar cast that brings to life Kate Cherry’s emotionally truthful and heart-rending production.
This timeless tale of scandal, honour, sacrifice and love is a three-way collaboration between State Opera SA, Brisbane’s OperaQ and the New Zealand Opera.
State Opera start their main stage season for the year with the extremely lyrical music of Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835). They have also started it with an absolutely sublime production of this charming opera.
