Madame Butterfly: Don't miss Northern Ballet's much loved Madame Butterfly as it returns to Leeds Grand this February after ten years away.
Innocence, love and betrayal unfold in the picturesque gardens of a Japanese Villa. Butterfly is fragile, unworldly, and prepared to sacrifice everything for the love of the handsome American Lieutenant Pinkerton. He deserts her and their child, only to return years later with his new wife. Abandoned and betrayed, Butterfly is left with only one honourable course of action.
East meets west as Northern Ballet Sinfonia play Puccini's beautiful score, interspersed with traditional Japanese music, as the company blend classical ballet with Japanese-style dancing.
Having received much critical and audience acclaim, make sure you book now for your opportunity to see one of Northern Ballet's most enduring productions.
