Melodrama
\Mel`o*dra"ma\, n. [F. m['e]lodrame, fr. Gr. me`los
song + dra^ma drama.]
Formerly, a kind of drama having a musical accompaniment to
intensify the effect of certain scenes. Now, a drama
abounding in romantic sentiment and agonizing situations,
with a musical accompaniment only in parts which are
especially thrilling or pathetic. In opera, a passage in
which the orchestra plays a somewhat descriptive
accompaniment, while the actor speaks; as, the melodrama in
the gravedigging scene of Beethoven's
“Fidelio”.
[1913 Webster]
