Opera became increasingly popular during the Romantic period. It is a musical

composition having all or most of its text set to music with arias, recitative,
choruses, duets, trios, etc. sung to orchestral accompaniment. The opera is usually
characterized by elaborate costumes, scenery and choreography.

Components of an Opera:

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

 Score - the book that the composer and librettist put together. The score has all
the musical notes, words and ideas to help the performers tell the story. Often,
there are operas with overtures, preludes, prologues, several acts, finales and
postludes.

 Recitative - Declamatory singing, used in the prose parts and dialogue of

opera. Different roles in operas are created taking into account different types of
voices. Each role requires a different type of singer, not only able to sing a given
vocal range but also with certain voice characteristics, color and power.

 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.
