Referencing the period between 1871 to 1914, La Belle Époque literally means "the beautiful era" in French. In more ways than one, La Belle Époque has been regarded as Europe's golden age, a remarkable time that significantly altered the history of the continent and beyond. The Cabaret is a form of theatrical entertainment featuring music, song, dance, recitation, or drama. The performance venue might be a pub, a casino, a hotel, a restaurant, or a nightclub with a stage for performances. The audience, often dining or drinking, does not typically dance but usually sits at tables.
