Best Answer

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.
