Madam Butterfly

So last night we got really cultured and went to the beautiful Madam Butterfly opera at the Artscape Theater in Cape Town. What an absolute treat! 

I was lucky enough to have won tickets on Facebook through 021 Magazine (definitely worth following in you live in Cape Town - they often have very cool give-aways) so off we went all glammed up to watch the opera. Even though it was pouring with rain it was an unforgettable experience.

Madam Butterfly is an opera by Puccini about an American navel officer who marries a Japanese lady and then abandons her. It really is a beautiful opera and what made it even better was that the entire opera is has subtitles from Italian to English of a screen above the stage.




If you are planning on having a drink or something to nibble before hand keep in mind that is it slightly price and if you want to be part of the cool crowd you'll need a fur coat - we do highly advise against it though as PETA's worst nightmare may just well be the opera.
