Daniele Rustioni conducts Opera North's revival of Madama Butterfly

Laura Kate Wilson, 24th September

When Giacomo Puccini's Madama Butterfly premiered at La Scala in 1904, it was heavily booed. Few who attended that disastrous first performance could have imagined that, more than one hundred years on, it would have evolved into one of the most enduringly popular and widely performed operas in the world.
