John Gay and John Pepusch wrote THE BEGGAR'S OPERA about 1728, and it first appeared on January 29, 1728, at Drury Lane, London. The characters, situation and language are all taken from the real life of the day, and centres round Newgate jail. It is also crammed with satire directed against the Hanoverian Court, the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, and the fashionable craze for Italian operas. <1h>Language:EnglishNotes:Genre:MUSICDetailed holdings information: -
