Let us not forget that Colette's novel is not from the 18th century--it was written in the 1940s! But she has a detached ironic tone, which is something very hard to bring to the stage. Adding songs, which puts the focus on the character's emotions, you have something that is nowhere near Colette's sensibility or our own.

it isn't a novel it's a novella. it's sensibility is 19th century not it's publishing date.
