Met’s Madama Butterfly coming to Galaxy Cinema April 2

March 30, 2016 · 0 Comments

Anthony Minghella’s operatic directorial debut of Madama Butterfly thrilled audiences when it premiered in 2006, and April 2, audiences can once again see the breathtaking production through The Met’s Live in HD program in Cineplex theatres across Canada, including Orangeville’s Galaxy Cinema.
One of the defining roles in opera, the title character of Madama Butterfly, is a young Japanese geisha who clings to the belief that her arrangement with a visiting American naval officer is a loving and permanent marriage. It’s the lyric beauty of Puccini’s score, which has made Madama Butterfly timeless. Conducted by Karel Mark Chichon, soprano Kristine Opolais plays the title role and Roberto Alagna sings the role of the naval officer who breaks her heart.
The live performance at the Galaxy will start at 1 p.m. April 2. Encore performances are set for May 14, 16 and 18.
For more information on local times and other participating theatres in Ancaster, Brantford, Burlington, Cambridge, Chatham, Collingwood, Guelph, London, Niagara Falls, Oakville, Owen Sound, Sarnia, St. Thomas, Waterloo, and Windsor, visit Cineplex.com.
