Story
Powerful women in Viking helmets, heroic males with incredible voices, and epic themes of life and death -this is opera! Opera is an art form that tells a story through singing, music, dancing and acting. It began in 1597 when an Italian artist, Jacopo Peri, tried to reproduce the ancient Greek dramas. After noticing that the Greeks used music and speech together in these dramas, Peri chose to do the same but with signing.
