Have you heard the sounds of the dizi? The Chinese bamboo flute that is played sideways. Or have you ever been enchanted by the pipa? Sometimes called “The Chinese Lute”, its beautiful melodies have echoed since the Han Dynasty.
Victorian Opera is thrilled to present a brand new opera, The Butterfly Lovers, composed by one of the country's most distinguished composers, Richard Mills AM with a libretto by Joel Tan. Richard is well known for his melodic and dynamic operatic works, such as The Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, Batavia and The Love of the Nightingale.

The Butterfly Lovers tells the tale of identity and societal repression based on a traditional Chinese folk story. It also combines the talents of some of Australia's finest opera makers and performers with Singapore’s Wild Rice theatre (world renowned as one of the best theatre companies in Asia) led by their intrepid Artistic Director Ivan Heng. Some may be familiar with Ivan from the Australian tour of the play, Emily of Emerald Hill.

Featuring the Australian premiere of countertenor Meili Li who joins Victorian Opera from the Royal Opera House and the Bavarian State Opera; baritone Haotian Qi, who's recently been heard as soloist with Opera Australia; and soprano Cathy-Di Zhang in her debut for Victorian Opera, and renowned for her performances with Pintchgut Opera.

This exciting, and innovative, opera is a world-first.
