Madama Butterfly

This is no ordinary production of Butterfly, despite its traditional garb

Butterfly with up-and-coming talent both onstage and in the pit

Head down to the park to see a stunning Butterfly take flight

Opera Holland Park's new production packs a punch so hard it leaves you winded

This was Duprels' show – and she stole it

The pleasure of this ‘Butterfly’ derives from the economy and restraint of its direction

Pride of place must go to the performance of the name part by Anne Sophie Duprels

A Butterfly which flowers after the interval

This classically structured tragedy is tight, intimate and beautifully contained
