Madama Butterfly: Italian–English Side-by-Side Libretto

I’ve just republished the paperback edition of
Madama Butterfly: Italian–English Side-by-Side Opera Libretto.

This is not a new title—but a revised and corrected edition.

While revisiting the text, I fixed a number of small issues: punctuation inconsistencies, minor grammar slips, and formatting details that affect readability. These have now been cleaned up throughout.

What was improved

• Grammar and wording refined
• Punctuation and spacing standardized
• Stage directions corrected
• Speaker labels fixed where needed

Important correction (website)

One issue was more serious and has now been corrected on the website.

The librettists were incorrectly listed as Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni.

This has been corrected to:
Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa — the actual librettists of Madama Butterfly.

The paperback edition is available at Amazon.com
PDF preview is also available.
