Puccini called ‘Madam Butterfly’ his favourite work, one he never tired of listening to in its entirety. 

Madam Butterfly is the heart wrenching story of a beautiful young geisha who sacrifices her family, her religion and, ultimately, her life for her American husband. Butterfly is the young bride of Lieutenant Pinkerton, who buys Butterfly's love while stationed in Japan and with no intention of ever taking her home to America.

Bring a chair and a picnic to enjoy this summer highlight in a setting as magical as the music itself.
