A group of women wearing Japanese Kimonos in Madama Butterfly

Madama Butterfly

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

Welcoming back the fabulous Korean soprano Elena Dee, Ukrainian soprano Viktoria Melnyk, Ukrainian mezzo-soprano Yelyzaveta Bielous, Georgian tenor Davit Sumbadze and Armenian tenor Hovhannes Andreasyan.*

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, with an 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.

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