Flawed casting in Minghella's widescreen Butterfly at ENO

Von Mark Pullinger, 16 Mai 2016

The sheer opulence of Minghella's staging often overwhelms, drenched in colour. Is that enough to really get to the core of the drama though, or is it all surface gloss?

ENO's Madam Butterfly is once again a must-see

Von Julia Savage, 14 Oktober 2013

To describe this revival of Puccini's much-loved Madam Butterfly as a visual spectacle would be to do it a disservice. Originally directed by Anthony Minghella in its first outing in 2005, it is one of ENO's greatest success stories.

Minghella's Butterfly returns to ENO

Von Paul Kilbey, 08 Mai 2012

Anthony Minghella's famous production of Puccini's Madam Butterfly debuted with ENO in 2005, and has been revived several times since at the Coliseum, as well as travelling to the Met in New York and the Lithuanian National Opera. ENO's latest revival confirms the classic status of this version, with a musical account which goes some way to matching the sumptuous and – yes – cinematic visuals.
