About This Event

Scottish Opera invites audiences to a pre-show talk for its production of Madama Butterfly at the Theatre Royal Glasgow on Saturday 15 May 2027 at 5pm. This free event offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from the creative team, who will share insights into the staging, musical interpretation, and character development that shape this beloved opera. Taking place ahead of the main evening performance, the talk will provide valuable context on Puccini’s exquisite score and the cultural background of the story, enriching the audience’s experience of the drama to come. No ticket is required for the talk, though seating is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. To make the most of the afternoon, the Theatre Royal’s main bar will be open from 4pm, offering a chance to settle in before the discussion begins.
