No, but a number of operas written with recitative and, or spoken dialogue have been performed with this cut-out. This usually means that the story does not make real sense and upsets the balance of the performance.

recitative and aria and how some of its conventions differed from those of present-day opera?

Recitative and aria are two distinct forms in opera, with recitative serving to advance the plot through dialogue-like singing, often with minimal accompaniment, while aria provides an opportunity for characters to express their emotions and showcase vocal skill, typically with more elaborate orchestration. In earlier operas, recitative often adhered to a more speech-like rhythm, whereas contemporary opera tends to blend these forms more fluidly, allowing for greater melodic and harmonic complexity. Additionally, modern operas may incorporate diverse musical styles and genres, moving away from the strict conventions of classical recitative and aria structures. This evolution reflects broader changes in storytelling and character development in opera today.
