This article explores the musical as well as dramatic convention of opera buffa, focusing on its characters and plots. Moreover, it addresses the intertextuality of the genre, by examining the genre in terms of opera seria, parody, and pastoral. In order to do so, the study analyzes the most representative works of the period, including the opera buffi of Paisiello, Soler, Cimaroso and Mozart. Through my analysis of these composers’ operas in light of their musical as well as dramatic conventions, I argue that the essence of the genre lies in the intertextuality in which various types of texts interwoven together in order to creates musical and dramatic meanings through which the works and the audiences of the time continuously communicate.
