Its satire and singability made it a first-run sell-out, a cultural craze across England, the most produced play of the 18th century, and the original "ballad opera," first in the Gilbert and Sullivan line.

COMPOSERS JOHN GAY Born (baptized): September 16, 1685. Barnstaple, England Died: December 4, 1732. London, England English poet and dramatist. Best known for The Beggar's Opera You've probably heard "Weird Al" Yankovic on the radio or recordings, or turned on PBS and seen Mark Russell. Each of them sings other people's songs, but with their own, often satirical words added to make the lyrics relevant and funny. This is called parody and it is exactly what John Gay did with his Beggar's Opera . To create what came to be known as a ballad opera, he concocted a plot that lampooned not only the morals of eighteenth century London, but also the style of Italian opera seria. In doing so, he played to the interests of a broad segment of society and helped to bring about changes on the opera stage. This wide appeal made The Beggar's Opera the most successful theater event of the century. The sources for his songs were equally broad, from parodies of operatic works by George Frideric Handel (the leading composer of Italian opera in England) to folk and popular songs that dated back over a hundred years. The work's influence continued into the twentieth century, when Kurt Weill and Bertold Brecht created a modern version, the Threepenny Opera Works: Ballad operas: The Beggar's Opera Polly (1728, but banned) and

John Gay John Gay è ricordato per aver ideato u na nuova forma di spettacolo per il pubblico londinese, che prese il via con la sua The Beggar’s Opera L'opera dei mendicanti inaugurata il 29 gennaio di 1728 nel Lincoln's Inn Fields Theare "davanti ad una straordinaria assemblea di nobili e borghesi" , e che ebbe un travolgente successo, venendo replicata per ben 62 riprese nella stessa stagione, record assoluto. L'opera dei mendicanti n on era un'opera nel senso moderno del termine, m a anzi una forma teatrale che andava diametralmente all'opposto dello stile dell'opera seria italiana: mentre questa si rivolgeva all’aristocrazia e conteneva musica raffinata, effetti scenici fantastici e intrighi che si rifacevano alla storia antica e alla mitologia, l’opera di Gay, per metà in prosa e per metà in musica e senza artifici scenici, si rivolgeva alla classe media, con una spietata satira contro l'opera italiana handeliana e i costumi corrotti del governo retto da Robert Walpole.

He is remembered chiefly today for his ballad opera, The Beggar's Opera (1728), a lighthearted story of highwaymen and thieves, which satirizes both the corruption of contemporary genteel society and the then current fashion for Italian opera. Its sequel, Polly, written the following year, was suppressed by Sir Robert Walpole since it (like The Beggar's Opera ) ridiculed his government. Gay was also the author of two books of verse called Fables (1727, 1738), which were very popular in his generation. See his poetical works edited by G. C. Faber (1926, repr. 1969); study by P. A.
