Opera:

1. Opera is a Western stage art, which in simple terms is a drama in which the plot is mainly or exclusively sung and expressed through music (it is a drama that is sung rather than spoken). Opera appeared in Florence, Italy, in the 17th century, around 1600, and is derived from the theater music of ancient Greek drama.

2. Generally speaking, unlike other theater, opera performances place a greater emphasis on musical elements such as singing and the traditional vocal technique of the singers. Singers and choruses are often accompanied by a team of instrumentalists, and some operas require only a small orchestra, while others require a full orchestra.

3. Some operas are interspersed with dance performances, such as a number of French-language operas that include a ballet performance. Opera is regarded as part of the Western classical music tradition, and as such, like classical music, is less popular than contemporary popular music, while more recent musicals are regarded as modern versions of opera.

4. Opera first appeared in Italy in the 17th century, and then spread to various European countries, while Heinrich Schütz in Germany, Jean Baptiste Lully in France, and Henry Purcell in England pioneered 17th-century operetta, respectively, in their own countries.
