Opera

  • Opera Seria: from the Baroque of more serious opera
  • Had divas and da capo arias and bells and whistles
  • Opera Buffa: derived from the intermezzos or comic relief between acts of the opera seria
  • Mozart took this new popular buffa style and ran with it
  • Characters are deeper, melodies are constrained, greater focus on relation between the text and music
  • Not as much recitative
