Madama Butterfly: Ellen Kent’s Farewell Opera Tour
Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre
Senbla presents Ellen Kent’s Farewell Opera Tour featuring The Ukrainian Opera with International Soloists, Highly-Praised Chorus and Full Orchestra.
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 including 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’.
