Madama Butterfly

Overview

Puccini's most beloved masterpiece is making a most awaited return to Teatru Astra's stage after an absence of over a decade. Madama Butterfly, last performed here in 2012, will once again grace Gozo's foremost theatre on the 29 and 31 October 2026, in what promises to be an emotionally intense production of rare beauty.

Puccini's poignant tale of love, betrayal, and cultural collision remains one of the most affecting works in the operatic repertoire. With a luminous orchestration and heartrending melodies, none more unforgettable than Un bel dì vedremo, Madama Butterfly continues to captivate audiences across generations.

Teatru Astra invites you to experience this timeless drama in a brand new production that will continue to solidify the theatre's enduring tradition of operatic grandeur.

The opera is supported by the Arts Council Malta and the Ministry for Gozo and Planning.
