The History and Future of Opera

On October 12, I saw Giacomo Puccini 's Tosca at the Atlanta Opera House. Tosca is an Italian opera supervised by Tomer Zvulun and accompanied by an orchestra led by Arthur Fagen, including casts of Kara Shay Thomson, Massimiliano Pisapia, Luis Ledesma (Atlanta Opera House). Opera is an art form where singers perform theaters through performance and vocal performance. Singers are in the form of music, basically speaking in dialogue. As we recently learned about opera in the classroom, I would like to explore the future of opera - Contemporary technology, continuous development of media and entertainment, and ongoing research

Italian opera is both Italian opera art and Italian opera. The opera house was born in Italy around 1600 and the Italian opera has dominated the shape history until today. Many famous Italian operas including Handel, Gluck, Mozart were created by foreign composers. Italian native composer's work from the 19th century to the early 20th century, such as Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Puccini, is one of the most famous operas in the world today. Performed at various opera houses.

Opera ceria, or serious opera is the main type of Italian baroque opera. Opera ceria plot is based on the history of ancient Greece and the tragic historical event. They are designed to stimulate strong emotions such as passion, anger, sadness, and victory (listen to pg 155). This style allows artists to express their thoughts and emotions through their songs. Opera ceria singer is a solo soprano or mezzo soprano including castrati, the boy is neutered to maintain the sound of the soprano range

At the end of the 17th century, a new genre, drama (authentic opera) dominated Europe. This corresponds to the popularity of Naples invention, the opera buffa (comedy opera) spread in Italy in the mid 1700's. Opera ceria aims to simplify the style, classical theme, poetic ideal, and positive life's values. On the other hand, Opera Buffa is highly dependent on ranchers and Commedia dell'Arte and features simple plots, discreet views, small actors and orchestra, talking, theater, actions and humor. But all these have changed in the latter part of the 18th century when the playwright Carlo Gordoni and composer Valdassarle Garpi changed the comedy opera format to include two or more more complex scenes. Plot and character, and social theme. The most famous collaboration between Gordoni and Galpi is Il Filosofo di Campagna (1754).

In the late eighteenth century, the success of comedy opera is due to collaboration between playwright Carlo Gordoni and composer Valda Saray Garrupi. Thanks to Galuppi, comic opera gained more dignity than during inter meso. The drama is now divided into two or three parts, creating a screenplay for a much larger piece. It is quite different from the complexity of the early 18th century and the psychology of their personality. These are now not some exaggerated cartoons, but some serious numbers, and the plot of the drama is focused on the conflict between the social class and the idea including self-reference. The most famous piece by Goldoni and Galuppi would be Il filosofo di campagna (1754).
