Summary:

The playful element contributes significantly to the high entertainment value of the opera buffa. This aspect has so far been largely neglected by research. The generic term "dramma giocoso", which was common in the 18th century, indicates the central role of play in this form of opera. On the basis of game theories from different disciplines - anthropology, psychology, education and philosophy - Ingrid Schraffl examines the multi-layered moments of the game of opera buffa and its performance context in the repertoire of Venice, the "capital of pleasure" at the time. The concept of play thus serves as the key to interpreting the entire cultural phenomenon.
