Innocence, love and betrayal unfold in the picturesque
gardens of a Japanese Villa. Butterfly is fragile, unworldly,
and prepared to sacrifice everything for the love of the handsome
American Lieutenant Pinkerton. He deserts her and their child,
only to return years later with his new wife. Abandoned and
betrayed, Butterfly is left with only one honourable course
of action.
East meets West as the soaring melodies of Puccini’s
emotive score are interspersed with traditional Japanese music.
Japanese-style dancing is blended with classical ballet, capturing
the pain and passion of the conflict between Butterfly’s
Japan and Pinkerton’s America that lies at the heart
of this tragedy.
Northern Ballet Theatre’s Madame Butterfly, choreographed
by David Nixon, has captivated audiences across the country.
This is your chance to experience the emotion, beauty and
elegance of Madame Butterfly.
