M. Butterfly vs Madame Butterfly

The Guthrie Theater is about to stage "M. Butterfly" by playwright David Henry Hwang. But evidently quite a few people think the Guthrie is staging the opera "Madame Butterfly" by Giacomo Puccini. In an effort to clear up the confusion, the theater's PR office has put out a handy dandy reference sheet for journalists. I thought you might find it useful, too.
