The Birmingham Post has teamed up with Symphony Hall to offer you the chance to win tickets to see Madama Butterfly.

Russia’s multi award-winning Rostov State Opera returns to the UK with one of the world’s best loved operas.

After his ship has to leave, she dreams of the ‘one fine day’ in which he will return. However, when he eventually does so, it leads to tragedy. Sumptuously staged with lavish sets, elegant costumes and a magnificent company of 100 singers and musicians, this will be a stunning visual and musical feast.
