£2 or more

£2 – a note

Puccini wrote five versions of Madam Butterfly – so we know every note was chosen with care. Your £2 will go a long way in helping us create this production. You’ll be sent a PDF with *your note* and the knowledge you helped create this production!

£10 or more

£10 – a chord

Harmonically, Puccini’s score of Madam Butterfly is one of the richest in all of opera. So you can be sure that your chord will be lush and beautiful! You’ll be sent a PDF with *your chord*, an official certificate of thanks, and the knowledge you helped create this production!

£60 or more

£60 - a melody

Puccini’s later operas, like Tosca and Madam Butterfly, are known for long-breathed instrumental passages, with melodies that leave audiences breathless. Donating a melody will help us bring these dazzling tunes to stages all over the country! You’ll be sent a PDF and recording of *your melody*, an official certificate of thanks, and the knowledge you helped create this production!

£250 or more

£250 – an aria

It’s no doubt Puccini’s arias are exquisite. Be it the hopeful and powerful Un bel di vedremo or the pleasure-filled Dovunque al mondo, Puccini sure knew how to tug on our heartstrings. Help us tug on a few heart strings? Not only will you be sent *your aria* and a certificate of thanks, but your name will appear in the score and programme of Madam Butterfly, so our cast & audiences will know that you made this production possible!

£500 or more

£500 – a scene

One of Madam Butterfly’s most touching scenes is the love duet between Pinkerton and Butterfly at the end of Act 1. If you donate a scene, you will be invited to an intimate, behind-the-scenes sharing of our work so far on Madam Butterfly, which will include the scene you made possible! You will also be sent *your scene*, a certificate of thanks, and your name will appear in our score and programme.

£1,000 or more

£1000 - an act

The intense emotional and narrative journey within this opera builds and builds act upon act… Donating an act, you will receive all of the aforementioned benefits, as well as *your act* sent to you, lunch with the director of Madam Butterfly and two tickets to a performance of Madam Butterfly of your choice.
