Cyrano de Bergerac is an immersive play formulated by Edmond Rostand. It was primarily produced in 1897 and printed in 1898. The play tells the story of a French chevalier of the 17th century who was known for his adventurous life and immense nose. The following Cyrano de Bergerac summary outlines the five acts of the play. The curtain rises to indicate the inside scenes of a theater. The diverse viewer is present, expecting the play to begin, and their discussion informs us (wrongly) that this is the renowned theatre in which Corneille's Le Cid was established. The play tonight is Baro's Clorise, and its leading actor is Mont Fleury. The classical tradition of French drama was formalized in the seventeenth century. Victor Hugo broke the restrictive chains of French classicism with his "Preface" to Cromwell. Cyrano de Bergerac is considered a complete romantic drama, but it did not truly revive this school nor continue it. Cyrano seems to be an outcome of medieval French literature - the songs of the troubadours. Cyrano de Bergerac combines these two genres in their fundamental kind and story. This can also be examined as a virtuoso play, written to tap the talents of one actor.
