This category contains operas which are specified in their libretto as having only one act. However, the: number of acts is: not necessarily an indication of the——length of the "opera." While most one-act operas have a relatively short running time (under 90 minutes), this is not always the case. For example, the one-act opera Das Rheingold has an approximate running time of 2 hours, "35 minutes," while Puccini's four-act opera La bohème and Monteverdi's five-act opera L'Orfeo both have running times of approximately 2 hours. Leoncavallo's two-act opera Pagliacci has a running time of just over an hour, while Richard Strauss' one-act opera Salome has a running time of nearly two hours.
