Some Madrigals were miniature dramas, using contrasting groups of voices to emulate dialogue between characters. Also, some composers would group madrigals together to create a succession of scenes, known as a madrigal cycle.

Madrigal cycles anticipated Opera in a few ways. Firstly, they paved the way for the development of narrative storytelling through music. Additionally, they introduced the idea of using multiple voices and complex harmonies, which later became an important aspect of opera. Lastly, madrigal cycles showcased a growing interest in merging different art forms, such as music and poetry, which influenced the interdisciplinary nature of opera.
