Giacomo Puccinis Zusammenarbeit mit den Librettisten Giuseppe Giacosa und Luigi Illica markiert zweifellos den Hohepunkt seines Opernschaffens. Nachdem Puccinis Verleger Ricordi die beiden hoch angesehenen Schriftsteller und Dichter bereits fur das Textbuch von Manon Lescaut ins Spiel gebracht hatte, entwickelte sich in der Folge ein so gegenseitiges Verstandnis der drei Kunstler, dass die gemeinsame Arbeit mehr als zehn Jahre anhielt. Als Fruchte dieser Kooperation entstanden die Opern La Boheme, Tosca und Madame Butterfly, in denen Puccini vollends zu seinem typischen lyrisch-dramatischen Stil fand.
