Opéra bouffon
Opéra bouffon is the French term for the Italian genre of opera buffa (comic opera) performed in 18th-century France, either in the original language or in French translation. The term was also used by Jacques Offenbach for three of his works: Orphée aux enfers, Le roman comique and Le voyage de MM. Dunanan père et fils.
The term is sometimes confused with the French opéra comique and opéra bouffe.
