Madama Butterfly

Madama Butterfly is a lyric drama opera arriving at the Teatro Apolo in Barcelona with singing at the heart of the performance. A story of love and missed connection set in Japan.

Madama Butterfly tells of the relationship between Cio-Cio-San, a young Japanese woman, and a United States Navy officer, in an ending marked by waiting and loss. It is a lyric drama in which singing and music carry the action from beginning to end, and the production sits within the tragic register of the operatic repertoire.

At this performance, audiences will find an opera in which the vocal performers are the centre of the evening. Artists associated with the production include Òpera Madama Butterfly and Madama Butterfly. The Teatro Apolo in Barcelona hosts concerts and shows in its programme, and this opera joins them for those seeking a story of love and sacrifice told through song.
