Simon Gray's Music Theatre 2000 pitches up at Southwick for two performances of Puccini's tragic opera Madama Butterfly.

This take on false love, humiliation and suicide contains such hits as the Humming Chorus and One Fine Day as well as a superb love duet.

This performance stars Miyuki Morimoto, Daniel Meades, Hyacinth Nicolls, Christopher Parke and Hannah Peverley and is in full costume.

It will be sung in Italian with full chorus and piano accompaniment.
