Are both Savitri and Le devin du village considered operas?
Le devin du village The Village Soothsayer (French: "Le devin du village") is a one-act French opera (intermède) by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who also wrote the libretto. It was the first work in the repertory of the Académie Royale de Musique for which the text and music were by the same author.
The Barber of Seville (play) The Barber of Seville or the Useless Precaution (French: "Le Barbier de Séville ou la Précaution inutile" ) is a French play by Pierre Beaumarchais, with original music by Antoine-Laurent Baudron. It was initially conceived as a comic opera, and was rejected as such in 1772 by the Comédie-Italienne. The play as it is now known was written in 1773, but, due to legal and political problems of the author, it was not performed until February 23, 1775, at the Comédie-Française in the Tuileries. It is the first play in a trilogy of which the other constituents are "The Marriage of Figaro" and "The Guilty Mother".
