Welsh National Opera - Madam Butterfly at The Bristol Hippodrome
Welsh National Opera - Madam Butterfly at The Bristol Hippodrome on from Tue 26 Oct - Thu 28 Oct 2021. Shows are each evening at 7.15pm with a run time of 3 hours including interval.
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.
Madam Butterfly is a powerful story of unrequited love, human pain and suffering which is magnificently intensified by Puccini’s glorious music, promising a night of drama and emotion. Inspired by Puccini’s fantasy landscape of exotic pleasures, Lindy Hume’s new production interprets Butterfly’s famous story through a dystopian prism.
Sung in Italian with subtitles in English.
