Experience Northern Ballet at its dynamic best - through the achingly emotional storytelling of Madame Butterfly.
Be transported to Japan as the Company presents its much-loved and heartbreakingly tragic Madame Butterfly. The inspiration for the world famous musical Miss Saigon, the story of Madame Butterfly tells of the doomed love affair between an American Naval Lieutenant and his young Japanese bride, Butterfly. Madly in love and prepared to sacrifice everything, Butterfly’s world falls apart when she is abandoned and betrayed.
This is world-class ballet on your doorstep. Book now and prepare for Europe’s ‘Best Company’ to sweep you away this spring through unrivalled storytelling, dance and live music.
