For theatrical productions from around the end of the 18th century that feature a series of songs, dances, and other entertainments without any unifying dramatic element see Revues. For musical works, often small in scale and primarily of the 20th century, that combine elements of music, drama, and sometimes dance in unconventional ways that result in works distinct from traditional forms see Music theater.
Staged dramatic works in which the actors sing most or all of their parts, and other types of musico-dramatic works that have significant portions of spoken text and have historically been regarded as forming part of the operatic repertory.
