Prince Yamadori

One of the world’s best-loved, most-performed operas returns to His Majesty’s Theatre for the first time in a decade.

Puccini’s beautiful and powerful opera shatters the hearts of its audience with its devastating story of betrayal set against the backdrop of 1904 Nagasaki, Japan.

The American, Lieutenant Pinkerton, marries young geisha Cio-Cio-San, and she believes his love is true. After Pinkerton returns to the United States, she bears a son and waits faithfully for his return. What follows remains one of opera’s most tragic stories.

Witness the exquisite Moffatt Oxenbould production of this powerhouse opera set to transport you to another world and break your heart.
