Description

Madama Butterfly

Cio-Cio-San is a woman who dreams of a larger life. Pinkerton is a man who sees only a delicate butterfly—something to capture and keep. His careless pursuit sets in motion a sweeping tragedy.

Puccini’s eternally beloved Madama Butterfly is a profoundly moving experience. The soaring score reaches breathtaking heights in Un bel di, and offers moments of exquisite stillness in the Humming Chorus.

Moffatt Oxenbould’s award-winning production is timeless. Tiny candles shimmer among floating flowers in a real onstage moat. Sliding paper panels reveal—and conceal—the secrets each character harbors. Sumptuous, colorful costumes, inspired by traditional Japanese dress, provide a serene, stunning backdrop to the unfolding emotional turmoil.

Extraordinary singers bring every ounce of passion and heartbreak to the score, led by conductors Andrea Battistoni, Erina Yashima, and Paul Fitzsimon. Four emerging international stars make their Australian debuts. Sopranos Guanqun Yu and Vittoria Yeo—renowned across Europe and America—share the role of Cio-Cio-San at the Sydney Opera House with Australian star Olivia Cranwell. La Scala-trained tenor Oreste Cosimo and versatile American tenor Robert Watson bring Pinkerton to life.

This is a must-see production of a must-see opera, featuring unforgettable singers—an opera experience you’ll remember forever.

⏱️ Run time: 2hr 40min. Incl. 1 interval.
