CINEMA: MADAMA BUTTERFLY FROM SYDNEY HARBOUR, SET TO STREAM LIVE IN MILTON KEYNES

One of the world's most spectacular opera events will air at more than 250 cinemas in the UK and Ireland on September 18 - and Cineworld MK is among them. Cinema audiences are being given the  opportunity to settle down and be dazzled by a world class production of Madama Butterfly - live and direct from the other side of the globe! Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour will return to the big screens with a modern retelling of Puccini's tale of love and honour, captured live from the waters of the Sydney Harbour on a stunning floating stage. This delivery will be the third staged by Handa Opera, and the setting is sublime - against a backdrop of the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge.

The 'one night only' event will be performed in Italian with English subtitles. To book tickets visit www.cinemalive.com
