MADAME BUTTERFLY
There won't be a dry eye in the house when Artistic Director of Melbourne City Ballet, Michael Pappalardo takes audiences on a journey to Japan with the classical ballet “Madame Butterfly” in 2018. Madame Butterfly follows a young Japanese girl called Cho-Cho (nicknamed “Butterfly) as she marries US Naval Officer Pinkerton only to have him depart for the Americas. As the years pass, Butterfly awaits his return with hope, refusing any new suite but her Pinkerton. It is only upon Pinkerton’s return that Butterfly realises their union was not as she thought, ending in one of opera’s most infamous tragedies.
