With the house and garden as your backdrop, discover Puccini’s devastating tragedy Madama Butterfly, screened live from London's Royal Opera House.
When young Japanese geisha Cio-Cio-San marries American naval officer Pinkerton, she believes she is entering a marriage for life. Forsaking her religion and community, she dreams of a future with her new husband, only to learn that for Pinkerton, their marriage is merely an illusion — one with tragic consequences.
With its exquisite score, Giacomo Puccini’s poignant 1904 opera is as beautiful as it is shattering.
- Parental guidance advised
- The performance lasts about 2 hours 45 minutes, including one interval
