In Italian opera after about 1800, the "overture" became known as the sinfonia. [55] Fisher also notes the term Sinfonia avanti l'opera (literally, the "symphony before the opera") was "an early term for a sinfonia used to begin an opera, that is, as an overture as opposed to one serving to begin a later section of the work".

Giuseppe Verdi. The following is a list of published compositions by the composer Giuseppe Verdi (1813–1901).. The list includes original creations as well as reworkings of the operas (some of which are translations, for example into French or from French into Italian) or subsequent versions of completed operas.
The terms "overture", "symphony" and "sinfonia" were widely regarded as interchangeable for much of the 18th century. [ 6 ] In the 17th century, pieces scored for large instrumental ensemble did not precisely designate which instruments were to play which parts, as is the practice from the 19th century to the current period.
Later, to avoid confusion with other types of sinfonia/symphony, the term Italian overture was used more frequently. The structure of the Italian overture/sinfonia was the base from which the classical multi-movement cycle - used in genres including the symphony , concerto , and sonata - developed around the middle of the 18th century.
Sinfonia (IPA: [siɱfoˈniːa]; plural sinfonie) is the Italian word for symphony, from the Latin symphonia, in turn derived from Ancient Greek συμφωνία symphōnia (agreement or concord of sound), from the prefix σύν (together) and Φωνή (sound).
