Best Answer

This type of Opera is called 'verismo'. This school of opera came to the fore with Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana [1890]. Other examples are 'Pagliacci' by Leoncavallo and 'Andrea Chenier' by Giordano. Although much earlier Bizet's 'Carmen' is also of this type as it was really the first realistic opera. 'Verismo' deals with every day life / matters rather than fantasy. Further information can be found by using the link below.
