Madama Butterfly on Sydney Harbour
Friday 24 March 2023 to Sunday 23 April 2023
Overview
“A modern Butterfly soars as art and spectacle combine on Sydney Harbour” (Limelight)
The critically-acclaimed and wildly popular Madama Butterfly returns to the Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour stage. Under the stars, with fireworks every night as well as pop up bars and eateries, this is “the most impressive outdoor event in Australia... You don't need to understand opera to understand what makes the occasion great” (Concrete Playground).
Take your seats overlooking ‘Paradise’ – complete with a bamboo grove and a giant moon and rising sun floating in the harbour. The picture-perfect backdrop of Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge twinkles with thousands of city lights as night falls.
For innocent Cio-Cio-San, love flutters on wings of desire. For brash Pinkerton, a flight of fancy is irresistible. On their wedding night, passions ignite. Yet, how ephemeral is their ecstatic embrace?
Puccini’s intimate ode to unrequited love has always been shocking. East meets West, devotion meets disregard, expectation meets disappointment. In the clash, Cio-Cio-San’s dreams shatter.
Join them for Sydney’s best night out. Handa on Sydney Harbour’s Madama Butterfly is a “five star world-beating triumph, surely one of the most spectacular outdoor operas ever staged anywhere” (Time Out).
