It's been popular since it developed in the 18th century. Most notably in the "bel canto" era with works like "The Barber of Seville" by Rossini and "The Daughter of the Regiment" by Donizetti.

Although generally associated with the bel canto operas, since Opera buffa simply means "comic opera" (as opposed to opera seria for dramatic works), the term could be applied to comic operas to this day.

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.
