The Opera Buffa article is brief and concise; as it should be for an opening definition.
However, I feel that Mozart has made an incredibly important effort to the rise and progress of Opera Buffa. Mozart's operas embodied the social constructs of the day and catapulted them into the future. It is important to recognize these traditional views and how Mozart's operas reformed these ideas. Specifically I am looking at Don Giovanni, Le Nozze di Figaro, and Cosi Fan Tutte which challenged the ideas of hierarchy and the role of women. These three operas are 3 of the most recognizable operas in the style of buffa and it would be a shame not to focus on them and how they changed society. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Klai01 (talk • contribs) 23:18, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Klai01: Much of this new section (that you have just written) needs editing (lots of wrong capitalization, typos, English problems etc.) but much of it is also of limited relevance to this article (Mary Wollstonecraft etc.). I suggest moving usable material to the articles about the specific operas, where general discussions about social significance etc. are appropriate. --Kleinzach05:42, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
