It is love, passion, promises, and full scale betrayal where Butterfly executes her final metamorphosis. After Pinkerton revealed that his heart belongs to another, Butterfly breaks her cocoon of pain with the help of the Katana blade. One of the world's best-loved opera, Puccini’s Madame Butterfly transcends its frontiers into a display of contemporary dance and neo expressionist dance. This powerful work, unforgettably danced, features the unique style of the Melbourne Dance Theatre and Martin Sierra’s mesmerizing choreography. Fusing the grandeur of opera with the artistry of contemporary dance, Madame Butterfly is playful and imaginative, intimate and deeply affecting. Madame Butterfly is a wilfully magical reflection on the indelible ties of duty and culture, and the ultimate tale of East meets West.
