 | | Opera is an art form consisting of a dramatic stage performance set to music. | | | Opera in France has continued to include ballet interludes and feature elaborate scenic machinery. | | | The word opera means simply "works" in Latin, the plural of opus suggesting that it combines the arts of solo and choral singing, declamation, dancing, and so forth, in a staged spectacle. |

| | Musical Forms - Opera |
| | Characteristic for the age was the rise of new types of opera based on national history, legends and folklore and drawing on national idioms in the music. | | | While Italian serious opera as cultivated by Rossini, Donizetti and Verdi remained relatively conservative, there was a move towards greater musical continuity during the 19th century. | | | Lighter forms of opera, such as opera buffa in Italy, opéra comique or comédie mêlée d'ariettes in France, ballad opera or comic opera in England and Singspiel in Germany, came from humble beginnings to flourish alongside opera seria and even to penetrate its substance. |

| | Beijing Opera was originally staged for the royal family and came into the public later. | | | But due to the threat from other entertainments, Beijing Opera's out-of-date styles and the lack of historical and theatrical knowledge of the young, this art had lost a lot of its audiences. | | | It then absorbed music and arias from other operas and musical arts in China. |

| | When composing the opera The Sicilian Vespers ordered from Verdi by the Paris Opera in 1852, the composer did not enjoy much creative peace: he had to fight with the French language libretto and its author, Eugène Scribe, who was unwilling to oblige the composer. | | | This performance by young singers is organised by the Jednota hudebního divadla (Musical Theatre Society) in co-operation with Prague State Opera and under the auspices of the Czech Ministry of Culture and Život umělce (Artist Life) Foundation. | | | The publication called The Prague State Opera – Theatre History in Pictures and Dates is focusing solely on the opera featured at the scene, even though the theatre under various names also served to presentation of drama plays, operettas and ballet. |
