Opera and Parody in Paris, 1860-1900 interrogates press caricatures and cartoons, popular song, staged revue and opera parodies to discover the role they play within the theatrical, social, and wider cultural context and economy they inhabit. These intertextual and intermedial ‘texts’ are analysed as reception documents, as ‘autonomous’ artistic products, as cultural phenomena to discover the ways in which their parody works, and for whom.
