MADAMA BUTTERFLY

TUESDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER 2022. DOORS OPEN 6.45PM FOR 7.15PM START

Live Cinema Isle of Man – opera screening from the Royal Opera House.

‘Love cannot kill: it brings new life.’

On a starlit night in Nagasaki, these are the words spoken by American soldier Pinkerton to young geisha Cio-Cio-San. But as they both learn, words and promises carelessly spoken can have indelible consequences.

With a score that includes Butterfly’s aria, ‘Un bel dì, vedremo’ (‘One fine day’) and the ‘Humming Chorus’, Giacomo Puccini’s opera is entrancing and ultimately heart-breaking. Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier’s exquisite production takes inspiration from 19th-century European images of Japan.

Sung in Italian with English subtitles.

Running Time: 3 hours and 10 minutes (including one interval)
