Ukrainian Opera & Ballet Theatre Kyiv presents Madama Butterfly

The wonderful Ukrainian Opera & Ballet Theatre Kyiv will be returning in Ellen Kent’s Spring 2024 operas. This is fantastic news following the brilliant success and audience reception that the company had on last spring’s tour. 

Puccini Madama Butterfly

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’.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles

“Above all it was a production which captured the raw emotion at the centre of the opera. Don’t take a handkerchief with you, take a box of them.” -The Independent
