Template:Short description Template:Italic title Opéra bouffon (Script error: No such module "IPA".) 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. It was also applied to original French opéras comiques having Italianate or near-farcical plots.[1]

The term was also later used by Jacques Offenbach for five of his operettas (Orphée aux enfers, Le pont des soupirs, Geneviève de Brabant, Template:Ill and Le voyage de MM. Dunanan père et fils[2]), and is sometimes confused with the French opéra comique and opéra bouffe.[3]
