From Commedia dell' arte to the crystalization of the opera buffa genre. Comic elements in opera music.

Summary/Abstract: Opera buffa has its origins in the interludes of opera seria, having deep roots in the tradition of Italian popular theater - commedia dell` arte. This operatic genre, like commedia dell`arte, is inspired by reality, drawing its subjects from everyday life. The mask, one of the main elements of commedia dellʻarte, is removed, but the comic situations, the typologies of the characters and the improvisational character are kept, also adding lyrical elements. The emergence and consolidation of the genre is the beginning of the juxtaposition between opera music and the aesthetic category of the comic. In order to create an effervescent show, the composers of this style use the aesthetic valences of humor, laughter, satire and irony, and intertwine them with a melodic discourse designed to support and amplify the vision of the libretto, considered innovative in the development of opera.
