Madama Butterfly on New Year’s Eve
Wednesday 31 December from 7:45pm to 10:25pm
Experience an unforgettable countdown to midnight under the iconic sails of the Sydney Opera House, with a performance of the eternally popular Madama Butterfly.
Cio-Cio-San is a woman who dreams of a bigger life. Pinkerton is a man who sees only a butterfly, something he can capture and keep. His callous pursuit ripples into sweeping tragedy.
This award-winning production is timeless. Tiny candles glimmer among floating flowers in a real onstage moat. Sliding paper panels reveal and conceal the secrets everyone is keeping. Sumptuous, colourful costumes are inspired by Japanese traditional dress.
Complete your glamorous night out with a three-course, pre-show dinner overlooking the spectacular harbour or tickets to one of Sydney’s most fabulous midnight parties.
