Madame Favart is an opera comique in three acts composed by Jacques Offenbach and first performed in 1878. The story is set in 18th century France and tells the tale of the famous actress and singer, Madame Favart, and her husband, the playwright Charles-Simon Favart. The couple's life is turned upside down when they become embroiled in a scandal involving a wealthy nobleman and his mistress. With the help of their friends and colleagues in the theatre world, Madame Favart and her husband must navigate the treacherous waters of court intrigue and scandal to clear their names and save their reputations. The music is typical of Offenbach's style, with catchy tunes and lively dance numbers, and the libretto is full of witty dialogue and humorous situations. Madame Favart remains a popular opera comique to this day and is often performed in theatres and opera houses around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
