In 1996 I saw Madam Butterfly at the Santa Fe Opera House with friends from the US and Scotland. It was a so so production. The orchestra was good, the open air opera house brilliant and the setting against a majestic mountain at sunset was stunning. The singing? Oh, it didn't do anything for me or my friends. Now Rene and I are to see the Opera Queensland production of Madama Butterfly (that extra 'a' seems to have come from somewhere in the last 10 years) on the 27th. It has had really good reviews and I'm looking forward to it enormously.
