LA BOHEME

Friday 6 June at 7.30pm

No opera can equal the enchanting romance and heartfelt emotion of La Boheme. From the celebrations in the Café Momus to the intimacy of the artisans' garret and the final tragic moments of Mimi's death, Puccini's emotionally charged score never fails to captivate audiences whenever it is performed. Che gelida manina , Si mi chiamano Mimi and the tender love duet O soave fanciulla are just some of the many glorious moments that bring this fully staged production stunningly to life.

MADAM BUTTERFLY

Sunday 8 June at 2.30pm & 7.30pm

Puccini's tragic masterpiece is a magnificent tale of the doomed love of an American naval lieutenant and his young Japanese bride. Set to a ravishing score, it features some of the most famous arias in all Italian opera as the story moves from tender moments of unbridled love to its ultimate powerful and tragic conclusion.
