La Fontaine presents another interesting evening for opera lovers with a film screening of Madame Butterfly, one of the most-performed stage works in the world and considered the pivotal opera of Puccini’s career. This exquisite and highly acclaimed production from La Scala presents the tragic tale of a woman’s relentless struggle within a traditionally conformist society and a loveless marriage. Collaborating with Japanese specialists on lighting, choreography and design, Japanese director Keita Asari casts two of the Far East’s leading singers in the coveted female roles, resulting in a uniquely stylised and authentic production, bringing to life Madame Butterfly’s metamorphosis beautifully. Tickets are priced at BD10 and the value can be used as credit at the venue’s restaurant on the same evening.
