How did comic opera differ from opera seria?
Opera "comique" has spoken lines, not just singing.
Second Answer:
The only practical difference is that comic opera is usually funny and ends happily. Some operas have spoken dialogue, but it doesn't necessarily make them comic operas. Bizet's opera Carmen was written with spoken dialogue between the musical numbers and was premiered at the Opera Comique in Paris, but it is definitely not a comic opera. In the early 18th century, Italian composers sometimes gave female lead roles in serious operas to sopranos and in comic operas to mezzo-sopranos, but that wasn't universal either.
