May I be the pundit of the thread and specify that Napoleon III was not emperor anymore in 1875 as he had lost the war against Prussia and was deposited when the Third Republic was declared in ~~1970~~ 1870 ?
The opera was nonetheless ordered by him and stands as the epitome of 19th century luxury building celebrating the wealth of the ruling class. Does it sound Marxist? Who knows?
I'm not an history expert but I have the feeling that your dates are wrong.
They meant you have a typo 1970 instead of 1870
Oh OK, will change that. Thanks

Do you live in Burghley house or something like that?
I'll have you know I live in a huge sprawling estate that has been in my family for centuries. For I am a Lady.
Wow, this gorgeous! I love the detail and composition.
