Question: Is La buona figliuola in the Opera buffa genre?
Context: La buona novella is the name of the fourth studio album by Italian singer-songwriter Fabrizio De André, released in 1970.  Its plot revolves around the New Testament apocrypha. In the 19th century, Spieloper ('opera play') was understood to mean a light opera genre, developed from Singspiel.  Works typical of the genre include those by Albert Lortzing, such as "Zar und Zimmermann", and Otto Nicolai's "The Merry Wives of Windsor".  A key difference between Spieloper and Singspiel on the one hand, and opera buffa on the other, is that the two former genres contain spoken dialogues instead of recitatives, which is why Conradin Kreutzer's "Das Nachtlager in Granada" and Friedrich von Flotow's "Martha" do not belong to this genre. Almerindo Spadetta (c.1822 – April 1894) was a prolific opera librettist active in Naples.  He worked as a stage manager at the Teatro San Carlo, Teatro Nuovo, and Teatro del Fondo in Naples for over 40 years and wrote numerous libretti (mostly in the "opera buffa" genre) for composers associated with those theatres.  His most enduring work was the libretto for Nicola De Giosa's "Don Checco", one of the last great successes in the history of Neapolitan "opera buffa". Der Zar lässt sich photographieren ("The Tsar Has his Photograph Taken"') is an opera buffa in one act by Kurt Weill, op. 21.  The German libretto was written by Georg Kaiser, and Weill composed the music in 1927.  It is a Zeitoper, a genre of music theatre which used contemporary settings and characters, satiric plots which often include technology and machinery.  Musically the Zeitoper genre tends to be eclectic and borrow from Jazz.  The genre has practically disappeared from the world's opera houses.  Historically the Zeitoper came to an abrupt end with the Nazi period, and after the war the cultureal institutions were perhaps hesitant to return to the lighter, often decadent and comic operas written before the holocaust changed the artistic perspective.  This conjecture is supported by the statistical fact that of all of Weill's, Schönberg's, Hindemith's and Krenek's works - it is these very shorter, satirical Zeitoper works that are no longer performed. La buona figliuola ("The Good-Natured Girl" or "The Accomplish'd Maid"), or La Cecchina ("Cecchina"), is an opera buffa in three acts by Niccolò Piccinni.  The libretto, by Carlo Goldoni, is based on Samuel Richardson's novel "Pamela".  This was Piccinni's most successful Italian opera.  There was a sequel entitled "La buona figliuola maritata" (1761) by the same composer and librettist.  "La buona figliuola supposta vedova" by Gaetano Latilla followed in 1766. Opera seria (] ; plural: "opere serie"; usually called "dramma per musica" or "melodramma serio") is an Italian musical term which refers to the noble and "serious" style of Italian opera that predominated in Europe from the 1710s to c. 1770.  The term itself was rarely used at the time and only attained common usage once "opera seria" was becoming unfashionable and beginning to be viewed as a historical genre.  The popular rival to "opera seria" was "opera buffa," the 'comic' opera that took its cue from the improvisatory commedia dell'arte. La buona battaglia – Don Pietro Pappagallo is an Italian television miniseries (two-part TV film) based on the true story of Don Pietro Pappagallo (1888–1944), a Catholic priest and Italian anti-fascist who assisted victims of Nazism and Fascism in Rome during World War II and was arrested and executed in the Ardeatine Caves massacre on March 24, 1944. Michele de Falco (also Falco, di Falco, Farco: c. 1688 in Naples – after 1732) was an Italian composer, maestro di cappella, and a pioneer of the opera buffa genre.  He was probably a student of Nicola Fago, with whom he also collaboratored on his second opera.  He also collaborated with Leonardo Vinci on his operas. Longanesi, also known as Longanesi & C., is a publishing house based in Milan, Italy.  It was founded in 1946 by Leo Longanesi and industrialist Giovanni Monti.  It initially got a large success thanks to some editorial series such as " La buona società" and "La gaia scienza". Opera buffa (] ; plural: "opere buffe"; Italian for "comic opera") is a genre of opera.  It was first used as an informal description of Italian comic operas variously classified by their authors as "commedia in musica", "commedia per musica", "dramma bernesco", "dramma comico", "divertimento giocoso".
