		Opera seria is an Italian musical term which refers to the noble and 'serious' style of Italian opera that predominated in Europe in the late 17th and 18th centuries.
		The only rival to opera seria between ca 1720 and 1770 was opera buffa, the 'comic' opera that took its cue from the improvisatory commedia dell'arte.
		Opera seria built upon the strict dramma per musica (drama through music) conventions of the early Baroque era by developing and exploiting the da capo aria, with its A-B-A form.

		In Seria he has followed the same successful approach, drawing the sans serif version of the type in accordance with the seriffed original’s proportions and structural characteristics.

	Feldman, scholar of opera seria, garners Dent Medal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		For Martha Feldman, a scholar of opera seria, or “serious opera” in Italian, opera’s timeless seriousness is a window into its opposite–a chain of events, sometimes riotous, tied to a particular time and place and ridden with conflict and social drama.
		Because she focuses on the historical contradictions in opera seria as well as its lavish sets and intense arias, Feldman’s work is highly distinctive.
		But opera seria was consolidated early in the 18th century when the old regime was already in trouble.

		There was less distinction between Baroque and Classical opera than between instrumental styles of the two periods because opera, with musical interest centred on a solo voice, had been largely melodic-homophonic since its inception.
		Another reason for the continuity of operatic style throughout the 18th century was the universal domination by the Neapolitan opera seria.
		From the early, tentative efforts of several 17th-century Roman and Florentine composers, it had moved into a bustling, rude, independent vitality of its own, often in the form of satirical opera buffa (Italian: “comic opera”), generally shaped in two acts rather than...

		Monteverdi's later Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria (1640) is also seen as a very important work of early opera.
		In these early Baroque operas, broad comedy was blended with tragic elements in a mix that jarred some educated sensibilities, sparking the first of opera's many reform movements, which came to be associated with the poet Pietro Metastasio, whose librettos helped crystallize opera seria's moralizing tone.
		Comedy in Baroque opera was reserved for opera buffa, in a separately developing tradition that owed a lot to commedia dell'arte.
