Iconic operas Rigoletto and Madama Butterfly will come to the Opera House Manchester in March 2015 as part of a national Spring tour of Britain and Ireland.
Staged by award winning producer Ellen Kent, theatregoers will have the opportunity to see productions of Verdi’s Rigoletto on March 21, and then the Puccini masterpiece Madama Butterfly the following day.
The British and Irish tour starts on February 4 in Llandudno with Rigoletto, and finishes on May 3 in Dartford with La Traviata.
This is the latest tour for Ellen Kent, who won praise for her national tours of Nabucco, Aida and La Boheme.
