Convenienze
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Convenienze (literally, 'conveniences') were the rules relating to the ranking of singers (primo, secondo, comprimario) in 19th-century Italian opera, and the number of scenes, arias etc. that they were entitled to expect.
The convenienze are referred to in the Donizetti opera Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali.
