The Opera

Opera is a part of the Western classical music form and tradition. It started in Italy at
the end of the 16th century and soon spread throughout the rest of Europe. While English,
French, and Italian operas were being presented, it was the Italian opera that captured the
creative imagination of composers, librettists, and singers alike. The opera is an art and
musical form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text and a
musical score, usually in an elaborate theatrical setting.
Components of an Opera

1. Libretto - the text of an opera. Librettist and the composer work closely together to tell
the story.

MAPEH Department Quarter 4 Learning Activity Sheet_MAPEH10_WK.1 3|Page

2. Score - the book that the composer and librettist put together. The score has all the
musical notes, words and ideas to help the performers to tell the story. Often, there are
operas with overtures, preludes, prologues, several acts, finales and postludes.
3. Recitative - Declamatory singing, used in the prose parts and dialogue of opera.
4. Aria – an air or solo singing part sung by a principal character. This song is what the
public will remember best when leaving the opera house. Properly and well sung, a
beautiful aria can bring an audience to its feet and decide the fate of an entire opera.

Elements of Spoken Theater

1. Acting
2. Scenery
3. Costume
4. Dance

The performance is typically given in an open house, cultural center, theater or

auditorium. It is accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble, and the
dialogue is entirely sung and not spoken.

character.

1. Tenor- highest male voice.
2. Baritone- Middle male voice, lies between Bass and Tenor voices. It is the common
male voice.
3. Bass- lowest male voice.

For the Female Voice:
