Discover more about the spectacular production of Madam Butterfly at the Royal Albert Hall.

The Royal Albert Hall will once again be turned into an enchanting Japanese water garden for the return of the spectacular in-the-round production of Puccini's Madam Butterfly from Thursday 26 February to Sunday 15 March 2015.

Set in Japan at the turn of the century, Madam Butterfly is a tale of tragedy and sorrow. The opera tells the story of the doomed love of an American naval lieutenant and his young Japanese bride which inspired Puccini to write some of his most sublime and beautiful music.

Madam Butterfly is sung in English using the highly acclaimed translation by Amanda Holden and is directed by renowned opera and theatre director David Freeman. Oliver Gooch conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and a distinguished cast with the title role being shared by Nam-young Kim, Hyeseoung Kwon and Myung-Joo Lee.
