In the 18th century, some ''Singspiele'' were translations of English ballad operas. In 1736 the Prussian ambassador to England commissioned a translation of the ballad opera ''The Devil to Pay''. This was successfully performed in the 1740s in Hamburg and Leipzig. A further version of this was made by Johann Adam Hiller and C. F. Weisse in 1766 (''Der Teufel ist los oder Die verwandelten Weiber''), the first of a string of such collaborations which led to Hiller and Weisse being called "the fathers of the German ''Singspiel''."
French operas with spoken dialogue (''opéra comique'') were also frequently transcribed into the German, as well. ''Singspiele'' were considered popular entertainment, and were usually performed by traveling troupes (such as the Koch, Döbbelin and Koberwein companies), rather than by established companies within metropolitan centers.
''Singspiel'' plots are generally comic or romantic in nature, and frequently include elements of magic, fantastical creatures, and comically exaggerated characterizations of good and evil.
The subject matter of the ''Singspiel'' evolved over time: While tragedy was a less frequent motif than comedy, romance, or fantasy, most of the ''Singspiele'' that are still part of the modern operatic canon are those written on more serious themes, such as Beethoven's ''Fidelio'', or Carl Maria von Weber's ''Der Freischütz''.
The ''Singspiel'' is the direct ancestor of the operettas of Franz von Suppé, Johann Strauss II and their successors. The ''Singspiel'' is also considered the predecessor of German romantic opera, and many of the genre’s composers, such as Beethoven and Weber, paved the way to the more complex operatic style associated with Wagner, Richard Strauss and others. As a result of this evolution, except for use by certain operetta composers, the ''Singspiel'' proper was less prevalent by the 20th century. In 1927, Kurt Weill created a new word, 'Songspiel,' to describe his work ''Mahagonny''.
