During the Second Empire, from 1854 until 1870, the state had power over the Opéra in ways that were without precedent. The Opéra effectively became a branch of government. The result was a stagnation of the Opéra's repertory, and beneficiaries were the composers of larger-scale works for competing theatre organisations.
