opera magican.

Brit.

/ˌɒp(ə)rə ˈmadʒɪkə/, U.S.

/ˌɑp(ə)rə ˈmædʒəkə/

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Italian; probably modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: Italian opera, magica, magico.

Etymology: Apparently < Italian opera opera n.¹ + magica, feminine of magico magic adj., probably after German Zauberoper, literally ‘magic opera’ (1806 in a work title). The compound opera magica is apparently not attested in Italian. Compare opera seria n., opera buffa n.

rare.
