💙 Next week, The Royal Opera's Madama Butterfly returns to the Main Stage! Puccini's heart-rending opera tells the story of a young geisha who falls in love with an American naval officer. Moshe Leiser's and Patrice Caurier’s production takes inspiration from 19th century European images of Japan. For this revival, The Royal Opera embarked on a year-long consultation, listening to new voices in its efforts to present a staging respectful both of the original, and to Japan and its culture.
