- 1981 December 5, Michael Bronski, “Coming (Out) to Opera”, in Gay Community News, volume 9, number 20, page 6:
- Not all opera is melodramatic or tragic. Mozart, Rossini, Donizetti and others have written in a light, comic, or satiric vein. The frothiness of these and the Opera Buffa and Operetta […] are the reverse of the more serious bel canto style.
