Sneak preview: Opera North's Madame Butterfly
STEP behind the scenes at Opera North and enjoy a video preview of an opera that has Pucinni at perhaps his most poignant.
Madama Butterfly is a touching story of innocent love, crushed amidst the mutual incomprehension of two utterly different cultures - and it resonates as strongly as ever in today's world.
Opera North's first new production of Madama Butterfly in more than a decade allies sombre beauty with realism to intensify the emotion of an already heartbreaking opera.
The show runs until until January 22 2008. See http://www.leedsgrandtheatre.com for ticket details.
