''Madame Butterfly'', a play by David Belasco (July 25, 1853 – May 14, 1931), an American theatrical producer, impresario, director and playwright. He is perhaps most famous for having adapted the short story ''Madame Butterfly'' into this play with the same name and for penning ''The Girl of the Golden West'' for the stage, both of which were adapted as operas by Giacomo Puccini. The story ''Madame Butterfly'', was written by John Luther Long (January 1, 1861 – October 31, 1927), an American lawyer and writer. It was based on the recollections of his sister, Jennie Correll, who had been to Japan with her husband. (Source: Wikipedia).

There are two theatrical works by this name:

Madame Butterfly by David Belasco (1853–1931)

Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini (1858–1924)


Neither to be confused with the play M. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang.

The original text

Considered Belasco's most famous work, the play is an adaption of the 1898 short story Madame Butterfly by John Luther Long (1861–1927), in turn based on the recollections of his sister, Jennie Correll, who had been to Japan with her husband. Madame Butterfly was first performed March 5, 1900, at the Herald Square Theatre in New York City, produced by David Belasco.

The text was published in Six Plays by Little, Brown 1928, and as a single play text by Samuel French, New York in 1935.

Translations and adaptations

Belasco's play, along with the original story, were - more famously perhaps - used as sources for the opera Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini (1858–1924)[2].
