The Beginning Of Opera Houses

The notorious opera houses reached their peak of fame during the 17th century in central Europe and especially in the glorious city of Venice, in Italy. The word opera has its origins in the Latin language and means work. It is considered to be the king of the musical genres and especially for those who love classical compositions. This form of art combines in the most unique and perfect way three other forms, singing, drama and scenery. It is not uncommon in some plays to include a whole orchestra as well as dance performances. The subjects mainly have to do with tragedy and comedy. The opera houses are built in such a way that they enhance the acoustics and the quality of the sound. They have a one of a kind architecture that radiates elegance and grace. The seating and the whole arrangement of the place are very specific and distinct. The experience of such a musical performance is in itself a unique event. It even has an etiquette to follow. Specific dressing for enjoying an evening of quality and culture. In many cases, it is even possible to have a transcript of the verses in different languages or buy the recording of the play. In opera houses one will find the main stage, a particular place that hosts the orchestra, the seating area for the audience and of course the backstage area where the actors change and all the provisions for the play are kept.
