La serva padrona
In theater and music history, a burletta (Italian, meaning "little joke", sometimes burla or burlettina) is a brief comic opera. In eighteenth-century Italy, a burletta was the comic intermezzo between the acts of an "opera seria". The extended work Pergolesi's "La serva padrona" was also designated a "burletta" at its London premiere in 1758.
