Chio Chio San

Long used the story his sister told. Sarah Jane was acquainted with the Scottish Thomas Glover, who had a temporary wife in Nagasaki. Her name was Kaga Maki, but she had a pseudonym for speaking at tea ceremonies Cho-san. Translated from Japanese, this name means butterfly.
D. Belasco used Long's story material to write the play “Geisha”, which had such a powerful effect on Puccini that he wrote the opera Madame Butterfly, known throughout the world. She first saw the light in 1904 in Milan.
Now this story is included in the golden fund of classics of opera and theater around the world.
