Abstract:	Our understanding of opera performance in eighteenth-century Spain is constantly expanding. ¹ However, one aspect which has so far received little attention is the impact of opera on society. We here set out to approach it using information provided by another contemporary genre of musical theatre, similar but distinct: the tonadilla. This was a type of sung intermezzo, extremely popular across Spain (America included) during the second half of the eighteenth century. It consisted of a series of sung numbers, usually with very entertaining plots drawn from everyday life. Thanks to recent research, this highly original genre has become known beyond Spain's borders, the world over.
