Our Madam Butterfly celebrates the empowerment of woman in this time of growing hypermasculinity.
This is Puccini’s powerful opera cut back to 90mins and fused with female empowerment songs of history’s greatest female artists – Aguilera, Aretha, Adele and Whitney just to name a few. Set in the funky warehouse venue LOEV, this is the perfect backdrop for our take on this much-loved classic.
Madam Butterfly is a brutal, intense and deeply moving story depicting exploitation and abuse of women. This production challenges that culture and takes a stand. Directed by award winning opera director Julie Edwardson and featuring our wonderful Cut Opera performers. Starring Jason Wasley who plays the entitled chauvinist Pinkerton and we introduce to you Gaetana Pelligrini in the role of Butterfly.
This is opera fusion!!

Emotionworks Cut Opera is a Melbourne company that condenses traditional operas and infuses them with complementary music genres. Performing in unusual and dramatically relevant spaces, taking opera out of the theatre and to the people in a more informal, cabaret style of performance.
This is Opera Fusion and we believe in integration!
Emotionworks is the brainchild of opera director Julie Edwardson (2011 Green RoomAward winner, Opera Australia). By combining different musical genres and vocal styles, such as jazz, blues, rock and Latin, Julie has devised an original and unique format, which adapts well known operas to appeal to a contemporary audience and a broad range of musical tastes. Opera Fusion is fast moving, hard-hitting and emotionally intense. The audience are immersed in up-close and personal performances. This is opera like you have never seen before.
‘The AGE can confidently predict
that this audacious production
will attract new audiences to opera’
The AGE Editorial April 2013
Emotionworks has continued to grow as a proudly unfunded company, performing in Melbourne’s iconic band venues and unusual spaces. The company crosses both genres and cultures and continues to integrate itself into Melbourne’s live music scene.
