The earliest examples of opéra-comique were satiric comedies with interpolated songs, but the form later developed into serious musical drama distinguished from other opera only by its spoken dialogue. The opéra-comique developed in the early 18th century out of the comédies de vaudeville, farcical entertainments performed at fairs. ]]></dc:description></metadata>
