MADAMA BUTTERFLY
GIACOMO PUCCINI
OPERA BOHEMIA
​

“Wilkie’s direction drew out stellar vocal and acting performances… there were many special directorial moments…does verismo grand opera work in reduction? It’s a ‘yes’ from me. Opera Bohemia continues to punch well above its weight."

- Edinburgh Music Review (2023 revival)

“Opera Bohemia’s compact, punchy Madama Butterfly may never have looked and sounded as good… John Wilkie’s production may be nearly a decade old, but the clarity of the story-telling, recognising the prescience of the work’s political message, are unimprovable.”

- Vox Carnyx (2022 revival)

“The underlying ecstasy, pain and anguish of Puccini’s style is beautifully captured.”

- The Standard

“John Wilkie directed his cast cleverly... this handsome festival version told the tragic story beautifully.”

-  Bachtrack
