Madam Butterfly (Or Bangkok Butterfly) is transplanted to present-day Bangkok for this radical reinterpretation of Puccini’s masterpiece.

This brand new English translation portrays Pinkerton as an American Airlines pilot and Butterfly as a Thai prostitute. The orchestral score has been delicately arranged for the King’s Head theatre’s intimate space with piano, violin and clarinet.

Madam Butterfly (Or Bangkok Butterfly) is directed by OperaUpClose Artistic Director Adam Spreadbury-Maher, making his opera directing debut for the company.

Unlike film, theatre doesn't have an official age classification organisation. That means all age recommendations are subjective and should be treated as guidelines unless otherwise stated. With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision.
