Madame Butterfly

When I went to see Madame Butterfly at the Royal Albert Hall, I was in for a surprise. The stage floor had been flooded in order to recreate the scene as a traditional Japanese water garden. It was incredible to see how quickly and efficiently the water was drained between acts and its beauty when candles were set afloat. Photos were not allowed during the opera except before and between acts.
