Love and passion: experience the emotions of the great Italian Opera.
The Opera, or melodrama, is a form of musical performance that combines scenic action, singing, ballet. The development of this musical genre dates back to the beginning of the 600s in Italy. Already in 1637, in Venice, the first Opera House was inaugurated, proving the great success that this show had since the beginning. In Rome, the first opera in history was represented in the year 1600, La Rappresentazione di Anima e Corpo (The representation of Soul and Body), by the composer Emilio de ’Cavalieri. The first Operas had as subject historical or mythological topics. Again in Italy we have the first masterpieces of the Opera thanks to composers such as Claudio Monteverdi.
In the ‘700s the Italian Opera was represented throughout Europe, and many musicians active in the theaters of France, England, and all the way to Russia, where Italian or of Italian origin. For the same reason, today the musical terminology uses Italian words. Among the greatest Italian Operas makers of the ’700 we have Giovan Battista Pergolesi, Alessandro Scarlatti, Antonio Vivaldi. It was however in the nineteenth century that the Opera reached its maximum splendor, due to the very high artistic level of the productions, the development of the Italian technique of “bel canto” and the genius composers such as Gioacchino Rossini, Vincenzo Bellini, Gaetano Donizetti, up to to Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini.
