Answer: opera buffa; ballad opera; opera comique

Comic opera was developed as a reaction to the most serious opera seria. Comic opera developed around the late 17th century Italy, and it describes a work of a light or comic nature, usually with a happy ending. Some examples of this type of opera are the Viennese operetta, the German singspiel, the Spanish zarzuela, the English ballad opera and the Savoy opera.
