Resumen

At the turn-of the nineteenth to the twentieth century, London’s theatrical tradition had for decades an intimate connection with musical comedies, opera, operettas, and general types of light performances. Affected romances were also very successful as the public at that time was not used to intellectual drama. So, it was natural that a preference remained still for the sentimental comedies.
