Once, early last year.
Giacommo Puccini's Madame Butterfly, performed by the Ukrainian National Opera on a UK tour.
The performance I saw was in the Pavilion Theatre, Weymouth. A screen on the proscenium arch gave a translation line by line to help us follow the story.
I thoroughly enjoyed it!
By contrast I had also seen The Searchers a few weeks before this, in the same venue, on what they said was their last tour - having started a couple of years before the Rolling Stones!

Puccini's Madame Butterfly in Boston, Massachusetts. This was one of many wonderful performances I enjoyed when I lived there. It was such a beautiful performance that I was driven to tears and could not stop thinking about it for weeks afterwards..

@Picklebobble2 I love Mozart.especially Cosi Fan Tutti.
Saw Ben Hepperman once at Covert Garden in Othelo. But it was bad, so I walked out.

Just about everywhere. Going to Torre del Lago this year for a chance to see Edgar! From what I remember Puccini banned it from being performed so it’s a rare chance y to see it.

No. I thought I could wait until we were Rome to do it. Needless to say, we left it too late. I was very annoyed with myself. It would have been a very special experience.

No, but I always wanted to go to one in New York at The Metropolitan Opera House.

I have only watched them on dvds. My favourite is La bohème, Giacomo Puccini.

@SW-User Saw that live once, at the London Coliseum.
I was 22.
The musical Rent is roughly based on it. Saw that with my wife when she was a student.

@CrystalSkull It reaches your soul.

@SW-User it does. Sigh I want to go again. Sadly there aren’t many operas in my city.

La Boheme. At The Met in NYC. My grandmother was trying to make us cultured. But I prefer Tommy.
