Music is important in people's lives, sheall the time somewhere sounds. But in the modern form of music appeared relatively recently. In Europe, not so long ago, they learned how to play musical instruments, the whole history of European music goes back several centuries.
Only at the end of the 16th century did performances appearwhich were accompanied by music throughout its length, and in those days the musicians had not yet figured out which part of the opera the soloist performs alone, and where the chorus sounds behind the stage.
Опера – сложное по написанию и исполнению composition. The heyday of the genre can be considered the 18th and 19th centuries. At that time, numerous theaters were built, and the writing and staging of a new opera was an event that was discussed by the entire intelligentsia. It was as important as the release of the new advertised film in our days.
Opera is a dramatic work.Most often, it is written according to the plot of already existing fairy tales or stories. But sometimes a new story is created especially for her. The opera begins with an overture. This music is like a brief musical content of the entire work. But the composers of the first operas wrote their overtures so that the late audience would have time to start the action. Opera goes on actions, scenes and paintings. Action - an excerpt of any theatrical performance, after which an intermission is laid. The scene is a separate episode, and the picture is an excerpt after which the scenery changes. What part of the opera does the soloist perform alone? Solo singing in opera is an aria. In fact, it is a monologue of the stage character, his story about his feelings or intentions. Usually, every significant opera hero has at least one aria. For example, what part of the opera does a soloist perform in Eugene Onegin? There is an aria of Eugene, Tatiana (her letter), Olga, Lensky, even the mother of the Larin family and her husband Tatiana have their own arias.
Opera can only go in the language in which it was written, it is like poetry, set to music.
