An outstanding cast headed by Karah Son in the title role provides a fitting send off for Opera Australia’s much-loved production of Madama Butterfly in Sydney

There is nowhere to hide in Madama Butterfly.

None of these factors bothered Opera Australia in their latest production, which was superb from beginning to end in every respect.
