{{Short description|Theatrical genre}}
A '''sainete''' (farce or titbit) was a popular Spanish comic opera piece, a one-act dramatic vignette, with music. It was often placed at the end of entertainments, or between other types of performance. It was [[vernacular]] in style, and used scenes of low life. Active from the 18th to 20th centuries, it superseded the [[entremés]]. Among its most prolific composers were [[Ramón de la Cruz]] and [[Antonio Soler (composer)|Antonio Soler]].

The genre, known as the ''{{lang|ca|sainet}}'' was also found in [[Catalonia]], with composers such as [[Josep Ribas]] contributing Catalan-language {{lang|ca|sainets}}.

Sainetes began to be developed into [[Zarzuela|zarzuelas]] in Cuba around 1850.<ref name="Carpentier Brennan 2001 p. 232 ">{{cite book | last=Carpentier | first=A. | last2=Brennan | first2=T. | title=Music in Cuba | publisher=University of Minnesota Press | series=Cultural studies of the Americas | year=2001 | isbn=978-0-8166-3230-5 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SqAU2ehM-BkC | access-date=16 May 2023 | page=232}}</ref>
