BUTTERFLY EFFECT CAMPIONE

Butterfly Effect is a brand-new ballet from Australian choreographer and Helpmann Award winner, Alice Topp. Drawing inspiration from the well-known opera, Madame Butterfly, Alice has recontextualised the story for modern audiences, weaving together threads from the old and the new, through themes of love, loss, and shattering betrayal, and Puccini's classical score.

Become a Campione in Butterfly Effect
and be an integral part of the creation of
Alice's first full-length ballet.
