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. Sumptuous, colourful costumes are inspired by Japanese traditional dress.
After the show, make your evening even more special with tickets to our exclusive Midnight Party. Held in the Northern Foyers of the
Opera House, this event includes drinks, canapés and entertainment — and of course, a great vantage point for Sydney’s famous New
Year’s Eve fireworks.
If you don’t have tickets to the Midnight Party, there are a limited number of outdoor viewing areas you’ll be able to access following the performance. Please note that these spaces are limited and can’t be guaranteed.
Dress up to the nines, kick up your heels and prepare for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve at the Sydney Opera House. Experience an unforgettable countdown to midnight under the iconic sails of the Sydney Opera House, with a performance of the eternally popular Madama Butterfly.
