As a tribute to acclaimed director Anthony Minghella, his breathtaking production of Madam Butterfly returns to the London Coliseum in 2009.

Described by The Sunday Telegraph as ‘the most beautiful show in operatic London’, this production sold out it’s three previous runs and has astonished audiences with it’s sumptuous sets and costumes.

Puccini’s exquisite music underscores the emotional tale of a young Japanese geisha girl’s (‘Butterfly’) love for a callous American naval lieutenant, whilst the vibrant colours and references to Far Eastern theatre traditions adds exoticism to this tragic love story.

Judith Howarth will reprise her much-praised performance in the title role and Christine Rice will sing the part of Suzuki. ENO Music Director, Edward Gardner, will conduct Puccini’s heart-rending score.

PLEASE NOTE: Children under 5 not admitted to any performance


About The Coliseum

Until the recent restoration project, no substantial programme of repair has been carried out on this historic London landmark since it first opened its doors in 1904. The London Coliseum, which is London's largest theatre, is cited as being architect Frank Matcham's crowning achievement. In its 100 year history it has played host to many forms of entertainment, including horse races, musicals, variety, cinema and, since 1968, opera.
