Oorspronklik

Giacomo Puccini furthered his reputation as one of the leading figures in Italian opera when he composed one of the world's most popular operas, 'Madame Butterfly' to a libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa based on the book by John L. Long and the drama by David Belasco. The inspiration for the plot came from an American play by David Belasco, which captured the composer's immediate interest when he saw it in London. Based on the heartbreak of Madama Butterfly, a 15-year-old Japanese girl, who abandons her people and her religion in a marriage to Pinkerton, a United States Naval Lieutenant, and in a conversion to Christianity, the work undoubtedly had greater meaning to its American audiences following the occupation of U.S. troops in Asia, during the mid- and late-twentieth century. The story of 'Madame Butterfly' also recently inspired Boubill and Schonberg's musical 'Miss Saigon'. This is the Schirmer edition of the Vocal Score in the original Italian with an English translation by John Gutman.

Giacomo Puccini bevorder sy reputasie as een van die leidende figure in die Italiaanse opera toe hy saamgestel een van die wêreld se mees gewilde operas, 'Madame Butterfly' na 'n libretto deur Luigi Illica en Giuseppe GIACOSA gebaseer op die boek deur John L. lank en die drama deur David BELASCO. Die inspirasie vir die plot het gekom van 'n Amerikaanse drama deur David BELASCO, wat gevang die komponis se onmiddellike belangstelling toe hy sien dit in London. Gebaseer op die hartseer van Madama Butterfly, 'n 15-jarige Japannese meisie, wat haar mense en haar godsdiens verlaat in 'n huwelik te Pinkerton, 'n Verenigde State van Amerika Naval luitenant, en in 'n bekering tot die Christendom, die werk ongetwyfeld groter betekenis moes sy Amerikaanse gehore na die besetting van die Amerikaanse troepe in Asië, tydens die middel- en laat-twintigste eeu. Die verhaal van 'Madame Butterfly' ook onlangs geïnspireer Boubill en Schönberg musikale 'Miss Saigon'.
