My CD of Britnica ready reference says "The Beggar's Opera" with a "The" and a singular Beggar, not several Beggars. Needs looking into, I think -- Tarquin 18:40 Dec 28, 2002 (UTC)
As far as I can tell the current correct title is "The Beggar's Opera," as you state. BTW, biographical info I added is from the 1911 Encyclopedia, edited and at least partially brought up to stylistic date. -- Dreamword 21:26 Jan 17, 2003 (UTC)
I have found a picture of a chair in a book English Chairs by Ralph Edwards, picture 57, which is said to be Gay's writing chiar, dated about 1720. is this relevant? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.143.3 ( talk) 22:43, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
John Gay is related to the French playright of the early 1800's France = Sophie Gay Girardin and myself. For a full Gay genealogy if any one is interested can be found on my website http://wayneray.ca WayneRay 02:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)WayneRay
Has anyone insight into the question why this work is 'attributed' to Gay instead of Pepusch when he the latter seems to have produced most of the music? I mean no opera reference book lists works by the names of librettists! -- Neofelis Nebulosa (моє обговорення) (May 10, 00:28)
