East meets West, and a young woman caught between the two is faced with an impossible choice. Puccini’s soaring melodies perfectly capture the shining hopes of young love and the agony of trust betrayed, as the Japanese girl Butterfly discovers that her American naval officer husband has abandoned her, and now intends to take their child away from her forever.
Featuring Cheryl Barker, Jay Hunter Morris, Douglas McNicol, Ingrid Silveus and Graeme Macfarlane With the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra, conducted by Patrick Summers Directed by Moffatt Oxenbould
