Madama Butterfly has been mesmerising audiences worldwide with its enduring tale of unrequited love, ever since the Italian masterpiece was first performed in 1904. The opera has been showcased across the globe in various iterations, with different directors giving their own spin to the timeless tale.
Now, Madama Butterfly will make its Cambodian premiere with a Phnom Penh-based production featuring an impressive ensemble of Khmer, Italian and Japanese artists, directed by His Royal Highness Prince Ravivaddhana Monipong Sisowath and Italian Director Maestro Vincenzo Grisostomi Travaglini.
Among those taking the stage for this once-in-a-lifetime performance is Cambodia's own Sethisak Khuon. The award-winning tenor is Cambodia’s first internationally trained opera singer. He will be joined by other world-renowned opera stars, including Enrico Terrone-Guerra, Yasko Fujii, and Ai Iwasaki, featuring music by the Phnom Penh Philharmonic and Choir.
“As a brand deeply rooted in Cambodia, ABC has always celebrated Cambodians who inspire us and many others with their bold and exceptional endeavors," said Loic De Laubriere, Marketing Director of HEINEKEN Cambodia. "The premiere of Madama Butterfly in Cambodia, in collaboration with Soundskool, is more than an evening of entertainment, it’s a beautiful showcase of local, regional, and international creative minds coming together, and a testament to the Kingdom’s burgeoning art scene."

The dedicated team, led by Ai Iwasaki of the Cambodia Opera Project as executive producer, and Gabriele Faja of Soundskool Music as production director, have expressed a commitment to delivering an unforgettable cultural experience.
