Opera buffa, a comedic style of opera, became popular in the 18th century, particularly in the later part of the century, with notable works emerging in the 1750s and 1760s. In contrast, opera seria, characterized by its serious and often tragic themes, was prevalent earlier, particularly during the Baroque period from the late 17th century through the mid-18th century. Both forms peaked in popularity during the 18th century, with opera seria gradually declining as opera buffa gained prominence. By the end of the 18th century, opera buffa had become the dominant form in the operatic landscape.
