Opera has been around since the end of the [[Older Than Steam|16th century]] and still going strong(ish—hardly anything composed in the last half-century has entered the standard repertoire). Most basically, opera is [[The Musical|musical theater]]—just (generally) within the classical idiom; dialogue is usually sung rather than spoken. Major opera composers include [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart|Mozart]], Handel, [[Verdi]], [[Richard Wagner|Wagner]], Puccini and Richard Strauss, though there are, of course, many more. |

|||
The opera genre is as varied as any other. Some operas have incredibly well-crafted lyrics and story lines that are true works of art, while others are [[Sturgeon's Law|not quite as brilliant]]. Many operas are comedies, and even the serious ones tend to have at least some humorous parts. |

That said, the opera genre is known for featuring many a work with ''extremely'' drawn-out texts focusing on a single (often trivial) theme. As a result, opera texts (libretti) are often mocked, and in many cases it's mainly the quality of the music that makes an opera work, along with the same thing you need for any theatrical production: committed performers bringing the art form to life on stage. Movies have car chases, rock songs have guitar solos, and operas have death-arias (the soprano frequently dies). In fact, both [[wikipedia:Anna Russell|Anna Russell]] and [[wikipedia:Betty Jean Ward|B.J. Ward]] (in her one-woman show, ''Stand-Up Opera'') have made entire comedy routines of poking fun at opera tropes. |

Several modern films and other works have been created as operas (that is, entirely consisting of sung dialogue). The most famous "serious" opera film is probably ''The Umbrellas of Cherbourg'', starring Catherine Deneuve. A very modern example is [[Repo! The Genetic Opera]], which [[Incredibly Lame Pun|transplants]] the style into industrial sci-fi horror. The term [[Rock Opera]] is thrown around at times for a sub-genre of the themed [[Concept Album]], but most "rock operas" are not produced for the stage (with [[Jesus Christ Superstar|an exception]] or two). The nearest thing to a modern successor to opera is Broadway-style [[Musical Theater]]. Indeed, musicals can trace their origins to opera through the operatic subgenre of operetta or light opera, which, as its name implies, is light in terms of subject matter (i.e. it's funny) and music, and often feature a good deal more plain dialogue than ordinary operas. The works of [[Gilbert and Sullivan]] are generally considered transitional, as while they considered their works to be comic operas, they would probably be called musicals if produced today. |

*** Performing opera in translation has disadvantages too. It's often just as hard to make out the words, and when you can the effect isn't always what it might be. For example, to an English ear Tosca (in [[Tosca|one of the rare operas with a stonking good story]]) may sound dramatic when she sings 'Mori! Mori! Mori! ... È morto.' but translated into English this becomes 'Die! Die! Die! ... He's dead.' 'Nuff said. |

** Also, during the Baroque era, musical drama tended to be structured according to the so-called [[wikipedia:Doctrine of the affections|doctrine of affects]], with consecutive numbers depicting contrasting emotions - a lilting love duet followed by a furious vengeance aria, for instance.

Many plots are completely implausible, [[The Casanova]] is often played by a short, fat, middle aged guy, [[The Ingenue]] is often played by a tall, buxom woman, and there's only so much costuming can do. Opera is pretty much built on this trope - generally, the audience is there for the music. |
