Opera est vocabulum principio Italianum, contractio locutionis opera in musica. Vocabulum merum in litteris criticis quotidianoque sermone est commune, quamquam raro in Italia (et quidem in aliis civitatibus) olim adhibitum est ad designanda separata operarum genera. Plurimi compositores nomina subtilioria adhibuerunt ad palam monstranda eorum artificia. Peculiaria operarum genera a theatris patronisve saepe mandata sunt, dum forma artificii aliquantum a generis normis discreparet. Genera operarum non sunt "exclusiva." Aliquae operae habentur ad nonnulla genera simul pertinere. In casibus dubiis, sola auctoritas ad extremum est compositor ipse.[1]

Foire St Germain Lutetiae circa 1763, post conflagrationem anni 1762.
Theatrum Nicolet in Foire St Laurent Lutetiae circa 1786. Saeculo duodevicensimo ineunte, Théâtre de la foire Lutetiae—commune theatrorum nomen apud ferias annuas in vicis St Germain, St Laurent, et deinde St Ovide—exsecutiones productum est, musicam et dialogum dictum habens. Hae exsecutiones, primum appellatae comédie en vaudeville, se in opéra comique evolvebant. Théâtre de la foire Londini annis 1720 apparuit, mox ut ballad opera Anglica expressa, quae excogitationem Singspiel Germanicum vicissim excitavit.
Hoc est glossarium inclusivum, varia nomina alterna praebens.
