[Puccini, Giacomo. (1858–1924)]. Madam Butterfly Foldout Advertising Postcard . Foldout advertising postcard for an early production of the beloved opera, at the Washington D.C. Belasco Theater on May 10, 1909.
Puccini wrote five versions of the opera; the original two-act version, which was presented at the world premiere at La Scala on 17 February 1904, was withdrawn after the disastrous premiere. Puccini then substantially rewrote it, this time in three acts. This second version was performed on 28 May 1904 in Brescia, where it was a great success. It was this second version that premiered in the United States in 1906, first in Washington, D.C., in October, and then in New York in November.
