Approved

On a starlit night in Nagasaki, these are the words spoken by American soldier Pinkerton to young geisha Cio-Cio-San. But as they both learn, words and promises carelessly spoken can have indelible consequences.

With a score that includes Butterfly’s aria, 'Un bel dì, vedremo' (‘One fine day’) and the Humming Chorus, Giacomo Puccini’s opera is entrancing and ultimately heart-breaking. Maria Agresta and Lianna Haroutounian share the title role in this revival of Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s exquisite production, inspired by 19th-century European images of Japan. Conducted by Nicola Luisotti.

Performances of Madama Butterfly in the 2021/22 Season are conducted by Dan Ettinger.
