An extravaganza is a literary or musical work (often musical theatre) characterized by freedom of style and structure and usually containing elements of burlesque, pantomime, music hall and parody. It sometimes also has elements of cabaret, circus, revue, variety, vaudeville and mime. ''Extravaganza'' may more broadly refer to an elaborate, spectacular, and expensive theatrical production. The term was widely used to describe a type of 19th-century British drama made popular by James Planché. Planché defined it as "the whimsical treatment of a poetical subject."〔Planché. ''The recollections and reflections of J.R. Planché (Somerset herald): a professional biography'' (1872), Vol. II, p. 43〕 The term is derived from the Italian word ''stravaganza'', meaning extravagance. ==See also== *Spectacle *Victorian burlesque 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Extravaganza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
