Introduction and prices

No opera can match the tragedy and sorrow of Puccini's Madam Butterfly. Set in Japan at the turn of the century, this tale of the doomed love of an American naval lieutenant and his young, Japanese bride inspired Puccini to write some of his most magnificent and beautiful music.

Since its world premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in February 1998, this truly sensational production of Puccini’s tragic masterpiece has left an indelible impression on the hearts and minds of over three hundred thousand people and has received the highest critical acclaim wherever it has been performed. By huge popular demand, the unique and spectacular ‘in the round’ staging of Madam Butterfly now returns to London. Once more the floor of the Royal Albert Hall will be flooded with water to create David Roger’s stunning design, with Madam Butterfly’s house perched on stilts above the shimmering surface of a traditional Japanese water garden.

Madam Butterfly is sung in English using Amanda Holden’s highly acclaimed translation and is directed by renowned opera and theatre director David Freeman. Peter Robinson conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and a distinguished cast in this spectacular production of Madam Butterfly - back at the Royal Albert Hall for a limited season.
