Thurs 8 SeptemberMusic by Giacomo Puccini Sung in Italian with English Surtitles Featuring an impressive cast accompanied by a large live orchestra with over thirty musicians, Puccini’s Madam Butterfly is at Swansea Grand Theatre on Thursday 8th September at 7.30pm. No opera can match the tragedy and sorrow of Madam Butterfly. This tale of the doomed love of an American naval lieutenant and his young Japanese bride inspired Puccini to write some of his most sublime and beautiful music. Set in Japan at the turn of the century, Madam Butterfly is amongst the most colourful and exotic of all operas and from its theme of noble self-sacrifice spring melodies that grip your heart. If you’ve never tried opera before, this full orchestra experience is perfect with its brand new settings and fantastic costumes, exquisite singing and wonderful tunes. “By far the best company to bring Russian opera to British audiences.” Stage Talk Magazine Tickets for the evening of exquisite entertainment are available from the Box Office on 01792 475715 or can be purchased online at www.swanseagrand.co.uk and are £24.50 - £31.50* with selected concessions available. |
