'''Opera''' is a form of musical and dramatic work in which singers convey the drama. Opera is part of the Western classical music tradition. An opera performance incorporates many of the elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery and costumes and sometimes incorporates dance. The performance is usually given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble.
