Butterfly by David Henry Hwang.ġ982: Performed as Madame Butterfly in April by the Market Theatre Company in the Market Theatre Restaurant, directed by Richard Haines, with Vanessa Cooke, Beverley Melnick, David Eppel, Robert Whitehead, Charlotte Ewins. Puccini's opera in its turn again inspired the 1988 play M. The text was published in Six Plays by Little, Brown 1928, and as a single play text by Samuel French, New York in 1935.īelasco's play, along with the original story, were - more famously perhaps - used as sources for the opera Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini (1858–1924). Madame Butterfly was first performed March 5, 1900, at the Herald Square Theatre in New York City, produced by David Belasco. 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.
