Convenienze

Convenienze (Italian literally conveniences) were the rules relating to the ranking of singers (primo, secondo, comprimario) in 19th-century Italian opera, and the number of scenes, arias etc. that they were entitled to expect.

The convenienze are referred to in the Donizetti opera Le convenienze ed inconvenienze teatrali.
