Opera or Musical drama is a form of theater that combines music, singing, acting, and often dance. It originated in Italy around 1600 and has become an integral part of classical Western music. The inclusion of various elements like acting, scenery, costumes, and sometimes dancing enriches the operatic experience. Typically, opera performances take place in opera houses and are accompanied by orchestras or slightly smaller ensembles.
