Puccini is one of the best-known and most successful Italian composers, thanks to operas such as La Boheme, Tosca, Manon Lescaut, and Madam Butterfly (Madama Butterfly in Italian).

Set in Nagasaki, Japan, American naval officer Pinkerton marries the young Cio-Cio San (known as Butterfly) soon after his arrival. Shortly after their wedding, Pinkerton abandons Butterfly and returns to America, it becomes clear he deemed the marriage only to be temporary.

Years later, Pinkerton returns to Japan with his new wife, and learns that Butterfly has since given birth to their child. Upon learning Pinkerton has a new wife, and won’t live in Japan with Butterfly, she agrees to give up her son, and ends her own life.
