Ponteland
youth set to feature alongside world-class opera stars
Madam Butterfly
Newcastle Tyne Theatre
& Opera House
Friday 26th February 2016
Music by Giacomo Puccini
Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and
Giuseppe Giacosa.
Sung in Italian with English Surtitles
The
highly acclaimed Russian State Opera
returns to Tyne Theatre & Opera House with the perfect tragic opera, Madam Butterfly, featuring remarkable
talent, 6 year old Isaac Hutchinson.
The
local star who has a passion for dancing, singing and all things theatre was
lucky enough to be chosen to portray the son of Madam Butterfly in this
impressive cast accompanied by a large live orchestra of over 30 musicians.
As
an attendee of Ponteland First School and
Stagecoach at Gosforth Academy, Isaac has
enjoyed performing in a number of shows, but is thrilled to be part of the
internationally acclaimed opera production, an experience he is sure to
remember for a very long time.
Set
in Japan at the turn
of the century, Madam Butterfly is among the most colourful and
exotic of all operas, and from its theme of noble self-sacrifice spring
melodies that grip your heart.
It
tells the story of a doomed love affair between an American naval officer and
his young Japanese bride, whose defiance of her family leads to heartbreak and
tragedy.
This
touching story of innocent love crushed amidst two utterly different cultures
resonates as strongly as ever in today’s world.
