"Polly" is a ballad opera by John Gay that serves as a sequel to his famous "The Beggar's Opera." The story follows Polly Peachum, who has eloped with the notorious Macheath, a highwayman. As they navigate love and danger, they face challenges from Polly's father, Mr. Peachum, who seeks to control his daughter's fate and restore his own reputation. The opera explores themes of love, social class, and deception, all while incorporating lively songs and witty dialogue. Set against a backdrop of London’s criminal underworld, "Polly" combines humor and satire to critique societal norms of the time. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
