Intermission Plays
1. The mid-eighteenth century saw a move to more “natural” music.
2. The new style might be traced to Galuppi, whose operas highlighted graceful singing.
3. Galuppi wrote what is known as opera buffa—early comic opera.
4. Even as serious opera turned to a more recitative-based style, comic opera thrived in
little intermissions performed between acts of opera seria.
5. The realism and expression of the characters in these works was seen to represent a
realistic “animal” expression—thus imitating nature.
6. Comic opera, then, represented a truer characterization of human nature.
