Opera Australia has announced that the company will undertake an inaugural tour to China this October, presenting Moffatt Oxenbould\u2019s celebrated production of Madama Butterfly.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The tour will perform eight performances in four Chinese cities: Tianjin, Qingdao, Shenzhen and Zhuhai. It is\u00a0Opera Australia\u2019s first multi-city international tour.\u00a0Oxenbould\u2019s production was performed for the last time in Australia last season, but has been brought out of retirement for this overseas tour. Its revival will be staged under the guidance of director Andy Morton, who made his Opera Australia directing debut, with La Boh\u00e8me<\/em> at this year\u2019s Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour.<\/p>\n

The cast comprises the captivating soprano Hyeseoung Kwon as Cio-Cio-San, with mezzo-soprano Agnes Sarkis as Suzuki with Paul O\u2019Neill as Pinkerton, Barry Ryan, Graeme Macfarlane, Steven Gallop and Simon Meadows performing with the China National Opera House Orchestra and Chorus under the baton of Muhai Tang.<\/p>\n

Madama Butterfly<\/em> tells the tale of two lovers, separated between culture, oceans and time. Puccini’s luscious music, magnificently orchestrated includes the famous Humming Chorus,<\/em>\u00a0the poignant One Fine Day <\/em>and the passionate dream sequence.<\/em><\/p>\n

The production will be sung in Italian with Mandarin surtitles.<\/p>\n
