Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mozart referred to the form of his last four great operas as "dramma giocoso," which translates to "playful drama" in Italian. This form is a combination of both serious and comic elements, making it similar to both opera seria and opera buffa. However, Mozart aimed to create a unique blend of the two styles in his last four operas, including The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, and The Magic Flute.
