 Unlike some more risqué French comic operas of the era, the plot of "La fille de Madame Angot" proved exportable to more strait-laced countries without the need for extensive rewriting, and Lecocq's score was received with enthusiasm wherever it was played.Although few other works by Lecocq have remained in the general operatic repertory, "La fille de Madame Angot" is still revived from time to time.During the Second Empire, Jacques Offenbach had dominated the sphere of comic opera in France, and Lecocq had struggled for recognition.
