WELSH National Opera return to Mayflower Theatre this autumn with a new production of Puccini’s Madam Butterfly and their much-loved version of Rossini’s The of Seville.
The new production of Madam Butterfly, performed from November 2 to 4, will explore the socially relevant themes of Puccini’s classic tale with its beautiful music providing the backdrop to this much-loved opera.
Set in a dystopian future where love is a commodity, this new production of the opera is not only true to Puccini’s moving score but provides perspective on the relevance this story still has in society today.
On the surface a dream-like wedding for a groom and his young, beautiful bride – but behind the façade is a cruel reality. Abandoned and betrayed, Butterfly finds her world crashing around her as her one chance for freedom becomes her prison. Her desperation and pain escalate as she fights for survival with devastating consequences.
