OPERA PRESENTATION
	First, I want to give you some background information on Opera.  The are several
characteristics and several different kinds of Operas.  There is the libretto, which can be
serious or comic.  There is the oratorio, which is an opera that is based on a religous
subject and is performed without key elements such as costumes, scenery, or stage action. 
Then there is just regular opera.  If there is dialogue in an opera, it is almost always
accompanied by music.  The music in an opera is always continuous with set pieces such
as solos, duets, trios, quartets, etc, and choral pieces.  The music of an opera is designed
to dramatize the action and display certain particular vocal skills of the principal singers.
	Opera began in 1600 in Florence, Italy.  Musical drama had previously existed, but
it wasn?t until then that opera was truly formed.  Many of the earlier plots followed the
myths of Greek Legends.  It wasn?t until later that they used historical figures as the basis
of the plot.  Perhaps one of the most famous operas, Eurydice is actually the very first
opera.  By the composer Peri, Eurydice is an opera based on the legend of Orpheus and
Eurydice.
