Melodramma Melodramma (plural: "melodrammi") is a 17th-century Italian term for a text to be set as an opera, or the opera itself. In the 19th-century, it was used in a much narrower sense by English writers to discuss developments in the early Italian libretto, e.g., "Rigoletto" and "Un ballo in maschera". Characteristic are the influence of French bourgeois drama, female instead of male protagonists, and the practice of opening the action with a chorus.

Le chant du rossignol The opera, the first act written in 1908 and the later two in 1913-14, was the first ever to be written by Stravinsky. The delay between writing the first and the latter acts was caused by his commissions to write "The Firebird", "Petrushka", and "The Rite of Spring" for impresario Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. After this lapse of time, during which Stravinsky established himself as a ballet composer, he was unsure of returning to "Le rossignol", and although he did finish it, he chose to also create a purely symphonic version, "Le chant du rossignol".
