La fanciulla del West ("The Girl of the West") is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by and , based on the play "The Girl of the Golden West" by the American author David Belasco.
 "Fanciulla" followed "Madama Butterfly", which was also based on a Belasco play.
 The opera has fewer of the show-stopping highlights that are characteristic of other Puccini works, but is admired for its impressive orchestration and for a score that is more melodically integrated than is typical of his previous work.
 "Fanciulla" displays influences from composers Claude Debussy and Richard Strauss, without being in any way imitative.
 Similarities between the libretto and the work of Richard Wagner have also been found, though some attribute this more to the original plot of the play, and have asserted that the opera remains quintessentially Italian.
Madama Butterfly (] ; "Madam Butterfly") is an opera in three acts (originally two) by Giacomo Puccini, with an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa.

 The story first appeared in "Kokumin no Tomo" (People's Friend, 国民之友) in 1890, and is based on Mori's own experiences as a medical student in Germany.
 In some ways, this tale foreshadows Puccini's "Madama Butterfly", which deals with a similar theme but with a slight role reversal: in "Madama Butterfly", a Western man abandons a Japanese woman, while in "The Dancing Girl" a Japanese man leaves a Western woman.
