Ellen Kent: Madama Butterfly – featuring the Ukrainian Opera & Ballet Theatre Kyiv
Senbla presents Opera International's award-winning Ellen Kent production featuring the Ukrainian Opera & Ballet Theatre Kyiv with international soloists, highly-praised chorus and full orchestra.
Back by overwhelming public demand, this award-winning opera returns in a new production with exquisite sets including a spectacular Japanese garden and fabulous costumes including antique wedding kimonos from Japan.
One of the world’s most popular operas, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly tells the heart-breaking story of the beautiful young Japanese girl who falls in love with an American naval lieutenant – with dramatic results.
Highlights include the melodic ‘Humming Chorus’, the moving aria ‘One Fine Day’ and the unforgettable ‘Love Duet’. Directed by Ellen Kent and sung in Italian with English surtitles
“Above all it was a production which captured the raw emotion at the centre of the opera. Don’t take a handkerchief with you, take a box of them.”

A first opera for my niece and her three teenage children. All were amazed and really moved by the singing. At the end the Ukranian national anthem was sung which was greeted by constant applause by the audience. A great night!
Thank you again to the company for another wonderful performance in Sheffield. We came to see Madama Butterfly last year and we're excited to see you again. You did not disappoint! Wishing you every success with the tour
