The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term itself was rarely used at the time and only attained common usage once opera seria was becoming unfashionable and beginning to be viewed as something of a historical genre.
- The popular rival to opera seria was opera buffa, the 'comic' opera that took its cue from the improvisatory commedia dell'arte.
- An opera seria had a historical or Biblical subject, whereas an opera buffa had a contemporary subject.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Opera seria article was read about 20,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
