Madama Butterfly\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 Giacomo Puccini<\/i><\/p>\n

Opera Australia, \u00a0Sydney Opera House<\/i><\/i><\/p>\n

27 January 2015<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each year, Opera Australia has followed its Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour production with indoor performances of the same opera during the following year.\u00a0 Presumably this is intended to entice patrons who enjoyed a performance under the stars to try \u2018real\u2019 opera inside the Joan Sutherland theatre.\u00a0\u00a0 Madama Butterfly<\/i> was last year\u2019s harbour opera so this year we have a revival of Moffatt Oxenbould\u2019s 1997 production of Madama Butterfly<\/i>, last seen 2\u00bd years ago.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although the production is now 18 years old, and has been revived at least half a dozen times, it is an effective one which provides a good vehicle for each new team of singers.\u00a0 Its principal virtue is that it serves the music so well, without any distracting directorial whims.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The set and costumes by Peter England and\u00a0Russell Cohen are traditional.\u00a0 The set is a stylised Japanese house surrounded by vertically sliding Japanese screens. This is a simple, but very practical arrangement, allowing many changes of atmosphere and providing several points of entrance and exit.\u00a0 A pool of water surrounds the house and this focuses attention on the central stage area.\u00a0 The traditional costumes are all very attractive and enhance the characterisation.\u00a0 The lighting devised by Robert Bryan is very effective and produces some beautiful stage pictures such as the stunning moonlight scene at the end of the first act.<\/p>\n

This revival has been directed by Matthew Barclay but the dramatic temperature seemed lower than in some previous revivals.\u00a0 To some extent this depends on the individual singers involved. Alexia Voulgaridou sings the title role excellently, with a large but firm spinto voice.\u00a0 Eighteen months ago she gave us an excellent Tosca, but as Butterfly she does not convey the innocence and naivety required in the first act.\u00a0 Of course, the title role makes impossible demands on any singer who attempts it.\u00a0 The libretto explicitly states that Butterfly is 15 years old, whereas Puccini\u2019s music requires the voice of a singer at least twice that age.\u00a0 Voulgaridou was much more attuned to the dramatic outpourings of the second and third acts (which are performed without interruption in this production).<\/p>\n

\u00a0James Egglestone repeats the role of Pinkerton which he sang in the 2012 revival.\u00a0 He is tall and slim and looks good on stage.\u00a0 His voice is clear and well produced but it is not a particularly Italianate sound.\u00a0 On the opening night he seemed to need time to warm up.\u00a0 In the first Act the voice sounded somewhat constricted at the top although in the last act it flowed much more freely.\u00a0 Indeed, he was also dramatically more convincing as a penitent in the last act than as a lover in the first act.\u00a0 The growing affection between Pinkerton and Butterfly was slow to develop from both sides and even in final Act 1 love duet the sparks did not really seem to fly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sian Pendry is well-suited to the role of Suzuki.\u00a0 Her voice continues to grow in richness and warmth and this was matched by her dramatic projection of the role.\u00a0 In the last act the dramatic temperature of the performance rose quickly when she was confronted with Pinkerton\u2019s American marriage.\u00a0 From this point on, the entire performance seemed to ignite more genuine passion than had been evident previously.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the Consul, Michael Honeyman\u00a0created a personality that was buffeted by unfolding events, but without the sense of authority that might be expected from an American overseas consul.\u00a0 Perhaps this is an intentional change of characterisation, portraying Sharpless as being somewhat out of his depth.\u00a0 It may also explain why he has been given an oversized costume that I don\u2019t recall from the original production or its subsequent revivals. \u00a0Graeme Macfarlane repeated his successful interpretation of Goro without venturing too far into the world of caricature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The smaller roles were all satisfactorily performed.\u00a0 Jud Arthur repeated his show-stopping appearance as the Bonze which is very effective both vocally and theatrically.\u00a0 Samuel Dundas\u2019s Yamadori looked a very eligible suitor for Butterfly and he sang the brief role well, though without creating the sympathetic persona that some performers aim for.\u00a0 Jane Ede also successfully repeated her brief role as Kate from the 2012 revival.\u00a0 It is unfortunate that Butterfly\u2019s young son was not credited.\u00a0 He did exactly what was required and managed to steal the show whenever he was on stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The orchestra, conducted by Gianluca Martinenghi, gave a workman-like reading of the score, but without the passionate highlights the same players have been displaying recently in performances of Tosca<\/i>.\u00a0 The small chorus acquitted themselves well in their brief appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Madama Butterfly<\/i> is Opera Australia\u2019s fourth revival production of the 2015 summer season, and all four of these operas have previously been seen here in the last eighteen months.\u00a0 This recent limited selection of operas has provoked understandable criticism from many regular opera attendees and a consequent wavering of interest from them.\u00a0 Perhaps it may also account for the air of routine that seemed to permeate much of this revival \u2013 particularly in the first act.\u00a0 It is earnestly to be hoped that the company\u2019s forthcoming new production of Gounod\u2019s Faust<\/i> is successful and that it will help to re-ignite the company\u2019s reputation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Performances of Madama Butterfly<\/i> continue until the end of March with major cast changes from 19 March.\u00a0<\/p>\n
