	Beggars Opera [www.progweed.net]
		Beggars Opera were one of the best groups of the early British symphonic style, characterized by the likes of Spring, Fantasy and Cressida.
		Whereas some of their peers had a tendency to be overly concerned with pop melodies at the expense of instrumental depth, Beggars Opera were able to successfully meld the two, thanks in large part of Alan Park's distinctive organ and keyboard, as well as Rick Gardiner's biting guitar.
		The second album from the seminal Scottish group Beggars Opera is probably their best, as Waters of Change shows a significant maturation in the songwriting department, and for the most part eschews the classical rock, over-the-top organ bombast of Act One.

	Literary Encyclopedia: The Beggar's Opera
		The opera received sixty-two performances that season and went on to be continuously performed on the English stage each year throughout the eighteenth century.
		The Beggar’s Opera was a new kind of work for the English stage, a ballad opera, marking the beginning of a long tradition that stretches through Gilbert and Sullivan in the nineteenth century to Rice and Lloyd-Webber in the present.
		The opera’s enduring appeal has more to do with the racy verve of its setting among the thieves, pickpockets, highwaymen, fences, turnkeys, streetwalkers and prostitutes of London’s criminal underworld than with the unfolding narrative.

	§13. "The Cherrie and the Slae" stave. X. Burns. Vol. 11. The Period of the French Revolution. The Cambridge ...
		All these, more or less, are gravely reflective or didactic in tone, as, indeed, is also The Cherrie and The Slae; but, in the two opening, and the final, recitativos of the boisterous Jolly Beggars, he made use of it for humorous descriptive purposes with a picturesque felicity not surpassed in verse.
		The cantata thus samples all his principal Scots staves, though omitting the Sir Thopas stave of The Epistle to Lord Daer and Fintry My Stay, the modified Killychrankie form of the ballad stave, as exemplified in Guildford Good and the heroic couplet of the partly English and partly Scots Brigs of Ayr.
		The poem is, also, modelled on the burlesque odes and cantatas of the period; but the wonder is that, such being the case, the curious metrical medley should be such a captivating masterpiece.

	Opera Pacific - Opera Glossary
		In an opera, the conductor is the musical director whose function is to co-ordinate the singers and chorus on stage with the orchestra.
		In opera, a quartet is often used to state the dramatic situation as seen from four different viewpoints or emotional states of the characters.
		In the earliest opera houses, the stage was inclined so that an audience member sitting in the back of the theater (which originally did not have a raked floor) could have an easy view of someone standing at the back of the stage.

	What is a Musical?
		Opera has been with us since the late 1500s, but (and there are those who will scream when they read this).
		Of course, the melodies of grand opera were part of the popular musical culture of the 1800s and early 1900s, and therefore had some residual effect on the musical theater melodies of that time.
		Producers called these shows "comic operas" to make them sound more high minded, but with extended dialogue and melodies designed for the popular taste of that era, they were clearly musicals.

		Scotland isn't the first place you think of for prog rock, but Beggars Opera, as well as Pallas, are two Scottish prog bands I know of (although many English prog bands had Scottish born musicians, like Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson, all three Shulman brothers of Gentle Giant, and Caravan's Pye Hastings).
		Beggars Opera is quite underrated, but can compare to many of the great prog bands down in England.
		Although the music is not as dynamic as other prog rock bands of the time, Beggars Opera have held a place in my heart for years.

		Both Kos and Bodrum are affluent tourist resorts, but whereas in Bodrum one does not meet any beggars, one is accosted by them whenever one visits a church in Kos or walks through the ruins of the forum in the town center.
		Perhaps there are fewer beggars in Turkey because the Turkish poor, who would be begging in Greece, try to earn money by selling goods or offering services which other people might want.
		It is indeed scandalous that a state that pretends itself to have one of the most "social" models in the world, generates that much beggars and poor in its society.

		The Beggar's Opera is not an opera but a play, and not just any play, but one of the great glories of the British stage.

	The Beggars Opera (Sekacz) - Guide to Musical Theatre
		Written in 1728, The Beggar's Opera is a savagely funny satire on marriage, money and morals - as relevant and biting today as it was when first written.
		In this new version by John Caird and Ilona Sekacz, the old story is given new fife as all our favourite characters return, in a play within a play, where beggars and thieves create a world of love, lust, violence, deceit, greed - and a little more love.
		Ilona Sekacz's score uses all the old tunes, but brings them up to date in a superb synthesis of 18th and 20th century musical styles.

	The Beggar's Opera - brittenpears.org
		The popularity of Britten’s three chamber operas proper (The Rape of Lucretia, Albert Herring and The Turn of the Screw) has tended to somewhat overshadow his brilliant adaptation of John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera, the realisation of which was completed in 1948.
		Despite the longish stretches of spoken dialogue, Britten brings all his usual techniques of dramatic characterisation to bear and binds the work together by effective use of leitmotif and meaningful key-schemes.
		The scoring too is brilliantly imaginative with Britten varying the range and constitution of the orchestra almost from number to number.
