Though generally referred to simply as ''[[Fanchon]]'', the work originally had the working title of ''[[Fanchon das Leyermaedchen]]'' (a "Lustspiel mit Gesang"), but seems to be most opten to be found under the  alternative full title of ''[[Fanchon das Leyermädchen]]'' (an "Oper(ette) nach dem französischen Vaudeville") and even ''[[Fanchon oder das Leyermädel]]''.
 
 
 
==The original text==
 
 
 
Based on a text/libretto by August von Kotzebue, in turn taken from a [[vaudeville]] piece by Joseph Maria Pain and Jean-Nicolas Bouilly, the play tells of the adventures and tribulations of a Savoyard waif who becomes rich singing in the boulevards of Paris.
