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.
It should not be confused with Victorian stage melodrama (drama of exaggerated intensity), to which it seems to be, however, related, or with melodrama (spoken declamation accompanied by background music) (in Italian, melologo), both of which are spelled without a double m.
"Melodramma" is the lead single from Italian pop tenor Andrea Bocelli's 2001 album, Cieli di Toscana. The song was written by Pierpaolo Guerrini and Paolo Luciani, and is among Bocelli's most popular and well-known songs.
The song was later included in Bocelli's 2007 greatest hits album, The Best of Andrea Bocelli: Vivere.
The music video of the song is directed by Larry Weinstein and features Bocelli singing while riding a horse.
