Overview

Written in 1728 by the English poet and dramatist, The Beggar's Opera was set to music by Johann Christoph Pepusch. The characters, including Captain Macheath and Polly Peachum, became household names. It has had an influence on all later British stage comedies, and on nineteenth century British comic opera (notably Gilbert and Sullivan) - but it is above all the ancestor of the modern musical.
