My heart leaps up when I behold

A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Opera is about 400 years old. It emerged from Florence,Italy towards the end
of the 16th century, the earliest work labelled opera. The first composer to
make opera a popular and well-renowned form of art was Claudio Monteverdi
(1567-1643) who utilized older dramatic models to present an operas
characters. His opera LOrfeo (1609), based on the Classical legend of
Orpheus and Euridice, was the first opera of significance and is still put on in
opera houses today.
The periods of Opera was The Baroque Period, The Classical Period and The
Romantics.
The late 19th century was dominated by two giants of opera, Italian
Giuseppe Verdi and German Richard Wagner, both born in 1813. During the
turn of the century, opera was dominated by Giacomo Puccini and his famous
operas like La bohme, Madame Butterfly, Turandot and Tosca.

Opera Buffa
and Opera Seria

The opposite of the opera seria is the opera buffa,

a comedic opera that was popular in the 18th
century. That's the idea behind opera seria, an 18th-
century style of opera characterized by serious,
often historical, themes.

Mozart and
Wagner

perhaps no one is a better example of this

than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the 18th-century
Austrian composer. Mozart was not only one of the
greatest composers in history, but also one of the
most versatile.
