Changes

The first third of the 19th century saw the highpoint of the [[bel canto]] style, with [[Rossini]], [[Donizetti]] and [[Bellini]] all creating works that are still performed today. The mid to late 19th century is considered a golden age of opera, led by Wagner in Germany and Verdi in Italy. The golden age continued through the [[verismo]] era in Italy and contemporary French opera through to [[Puccini]] and [[Strauss]] in the early 20th century. At the same time, new operatic traditions emerged in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia and Bohemia. The 20th century saw many experiments with modern styles, such as [[atonality]] and [[serialism]] ([[Schoenberg]] and [[Berg]]), Neo-Classicism ([[Stravinsky]]), and [[Minimalism]] ([[Philip Glass]] and [[John Adams]]). With the rise of recording technology, singers such as [[Enrico Caruso]] became known to audiences beyond the circle of opera fans. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera]
