Madama Butterfly was composed by Giacomo Puccini.
The first Cio-Cio San in Puccini's Madama Butterfly, in the 1904 premiere, was soprano Rosina Storchio.
Puccini's opera has a libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. Puccini based the opera on the short story 'Madame Butterfly' by John Luther Long - 1898 and also on the novel 'Madame Chrysanthème' by Pierre Loti - 1887. However, the American scholar Arthur Groos claims that the opera was based on events that actually occurred in Nagasaki in the early 1890s.
2008/2009. Before that, 1982 I believe.
Madama Butterfly or Madame Butterfly is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa. Puccini wrote five versions of the opera. Madama Butterfly is actually Cio-Cio San the main character in the opera.
The short story "Madame Butterfly" was created in 1898 by American author John Luther Long. It was later adapted into the famous opera by Giacomo Puccini in 1904.
Madame Butterfly was first performed in 1904, and the story-- at the time-- was supposed to be contemporary. So, the safest answer is that it takes place in Nagasaki, Japan, at the turn of the 20th century. But, if we go by the "real Madame Butterfly," on whose life the original short story and libretto are based, then the events would be set in 1870.
