Madama Butterfly – Sydney Opera House
This is a visually stunning version of Madama Butterfly by Graeme Murphy who draws on his roots in choreography and embraces an ultra-modern aesthetic to reimagines Puccini‘s classic as a futuristic dystopia.
Using Opera Australia’s ground-breaking digital technologies, 10 seven metre tall LED screens form a captivating, dynamic, symbolistic backdrop and towering robotic servants with which the singers interact. Striking costume designs draw on a range of eras, from burlesque to cartoons and sci fi.
Stars Sae-Kyung Rim, Sian Sharp and Diego Torre and Michael Honeyman.
