Best Answer

Opera falls into 5 main categories. opretta, falsetto, signitto, aria, and ressusativ

First, falsetto is not a type of opera, it's a technique of singing in the head voice. An aria is a solo sung by one character in an opera or oratorio. Recitative is a speech-singing between arias in baroque and classical period operas and oratorios. Operetta is a light form of opera, with dialogue between the songs, popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. Types of opera are: opera seria, or serious opera, opera buffa or comic opera, tragic opera, verismo opera, and music drama
