Talk:Opera buffa

- Mozart didn't miss the chance of giving us a masterpiece (Le nozze di Figaro - in Italian), or perhaps two (with Don Giovanni)
Is this intended as an attempt to judge the relative worth of Mozart's three great Italian comic operas, the Figaro being a masterpiece, Don Giovanni being perhaps a masterpiece, and Cosi fan tutte being neither? In that case I have to object. Or is there some reason to view the Figaro as a true opera buffo, and the others as less or not so? Victor Gijsbers 22:02, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Thought I'd put up a real article here to foil the useless content vandals. Needs a lookover by someone more knowledgeable in such matters. Then again, I learn the most by doing such articles, heck I even learned a little Italian as the opera names were in Italian on the sites I found. Am trying to look up Verdi via search so I can wikify him correctly, but seems to be taking forever so I'll clean up a bit later tonight if it doesn't clear up. Rgamble
Just wanted to thank Gianfranco for majorly fleshing out the stub making it a very interesting read, and Vicki for copyediting it. Oh and April for finding the link for an Italian phrase. Nice job so far! Rgamble
- Thank you for reading it - go on with your Italian, there's so much to write about opera! :-)) --Gianfranco
What is correct: Dramma giocoso, or Dramma giocosa?
