Artiste: Sae-Kyung Rim

A mid-performance jump-in by tenor Thomas Strong saves the show on the opening night of this revival of Graeme Murphy's production.

This production brought the work into the 21st century, at least visually, with a more modernised and digitally-stylised telling than their recent attempts.

There is a reason that Butterfly has the highest blub factor in the repertory, for it is not only for Cio-Cio-San that we weep, but for ourselves.
