In opera, the name Puccini stands as a guarantee for captivating stories, touching destinies, stirring passions, rousing music. »Madama Butterfly« also betrays the composer's unerring instinct for outstanding operatic material. In London Puccini saw the celebrated one-act play »Madame Butterfly« by the successful American author Belasco. Although he didn't understand a word of English, he was deeply moved. The tragedy of the geisha Cio-Cio-San, who believes in the love and loyalty of the frivolous naval lieutenant Pinkerton to the last, as well as the exotic coloring, did not let him go. With Puccini, Cio-Cio-San is the center of the opera, he went even further than Belasco: as an additional dimension he added a basic ethnic conflict to the psychological drama. he succeeded to tell the development of his title character from the childishly naïve bride to the mature woman in a highly poignant way. As always with Puccini, it is the music that is "to blame" for not being able to escape the pull of the drama.

Der Name Puccini steht in der Oper als Garant für fesselnde Geschichten, ergreifende Schicksale, aufwühlende Leidenschaften, mitreißende Musik. Auch »Madama Butterfly« verrät das untrügliche Gespür des Komponisten für hervorragende Opernstoffe. In London sah Puccini den gefeierten Einakter »Madame Butterfly« des amerikanischen Erfolgsautors Belasco. Obwohl er kein Wort Englisch verstand, war er tief bewegt. Die Tragödie um die Geisha Cio-Cio-San, die bis zuletzt an die Liebe und Treue des leichtfertigen Marineleutnants Pinkerton glaubt, wie auch das exotische Kolorit, ließen ihn nicht los. Bei Puccini ist Cio-Cio-San das Zentrum der Oper, er ging sogar noch weiter als Belasco: Als zusätzliche Dimension fügte er dem psychologischen Drama einen ethnischen Grundkonflikt hinzu. Es gelang ihm, die Entwicklung seiner Titelfigur von der kindlich-naiven Braut zur gereiften Frau höchst eindringlich zu erzählen. »Schuld« daran, dass man sich dem Sog des Dramas nicht zu entziehen vermag, ist – wie immer bei Puccini – die Musik.
