AUSTRALIA-ENTERTAINMENT-OPERA-MADAME BUTTERFLY
Jane Parkin (R) playing Cio-Cio-San (Madame Butterfly) and David Corcoran (L) playing B.F. Pinkerton perform in Opera Australia's new production of Madame Butterfly as it plans to tour 29 remote and regional locations across four states – Victoria, New South Wales, Tasmania and South Australia, starting in Melbourne, on July 4, 2008. John Bell, in his first collaboration with Opera Australia, directs a cast of 10 singers including Jane Parkin as Cio-Cio-San, alongside David Corcoran and Jason Wasley as the cad Pinkerton. Simon Kenway and Christopher van Tuinen conduct Puccini's magnificent score, including the famous ‘Humming Chorus’ and heartbreaking ‘One Fine Day’, performed by an 11-piece chamber orchestra. The production is a visually spectacular clash of traditional geisha designs and modern Western dress, set in 1946 in the historic city of Nagasaki, a year after the Japanese surrender to the US.
