Madame Butterfly - short story - was created in 1898.
The short story "Madame Butterfly" was created in 1898 by American author John Luther Long. It was later adapted into the famous Opera by Giacomo Puccini in 1904.
Madame Butterfly was first performed in 1904, and the story-- at the time-- was supposed to be contemporary. So, the safest answer is that it takes place in Nagasaki, Japan, at the turn of the 20th century. But, if we go by the "real Madame Butterfly," on whose life the original short story and libretto are based, then the events would be set in 1870.
