Madama Butterfly and La Traviata coming to Wolverhampton
Ballet and opera fans will be treated to a double bill of iconic shows coming to Wolverhampton next year.
Opera & Ballet International will perform Verdi's La Traviata and Puccini's Madama Butterfly at the Grand Theatre.
La Traviata is based on a true story, and tells the tale of the passionate loves and life of the consumptive courtesan, Violetta. There are also many echoes of Verdi’s own life in the show. The highlights include the Brindisi, the best known drinking song in opera, the duet Un Di Felice and Violetta’s haunting aria Addio Del Passato.
Madama Butterfly, meanwhile, tells the heart-breaking story of the beautiful young Japanese girl who falls in love with an American naval lieutenant – with dramatic results. Highlights include the melodic Humming Chorus, the moving aria One Fine Day and the unforgettable Love Duet.
La Traviata will take place on Friday, March 23 and Madama Butterfly on Saturday, March 24.
Tickets, priced between £19.50 and £39.50, are now on sale.
