The book explores the historical roots of popular opera and its evolution into contemporary musical theatre, tracing its origins in Paris and London. It highlights the tradition of social critique embedded in early operas with spoken dialogue, predating works like The Beggar's Opera. A key focus is on Marie-Justine Favart, a pivotal figure in the vaudeville tradition, and her influence on characters like Roxelane, connecting to notable performers such as Madeleine Renaud, who bridged the gap to modern playwrights like Samuel Beckett and Marguerite Duras.
