ALSO:
I found the following Opera glossary, from a cursory glance, your "קטעי" could be "scena".

"SCENA (SCHAY-nah): Literally "a scene;" a dramatic episode which consists of a variety of numbers with a common theme. A typical scena might consist of a recitative, a cavatina and a cabaletta."

Asker: Thanks Ty! This is indeed what I used, only I wasn´t sure whether a more "connoisseur" term exists.

Asker: Since it's about concertant performance of the opera (just music), I'll stick to excerpts. Thanks!
