Arts of the theater - Italian opera

The Italian opera is the known form earlier of the opera. Although the Greek and theater would have inspired Roman it, inspired many countries anywhere in the world, including most of Europe. Some say that the opera of the word has derived from the Italian words “opera in Music” that means the work in music. The evidence of the first opera was realized in Italy was in the wedding of Marie de Medici and Henry IV of France. The Italian opera had three stages that is to say, the Baroque one, romantic and the modern one.

The baroque period is the name of that period of Italian opera that originated in Italy in the principle of century XVII. The used voice was very acute along with instrumental music. This style was well-known like monody and developed by Julio Caccini and the Peri de Jacopo. It was reflected in the Euridice opera that was based on the history of Eurydice and Orpheus. When there were no dialogs during the operation, there were songs with music. This type of opera inspired much another one writes, caught of them was Claudius Monteverdi who wrote the Favola D' Orfeo that had the style of monody. It was his first game and it continues being today famous with the hearing. Monteverdi worked hardly in the synchronization of instrumental music with the words and demonstrated east effort in Mantua, with the great refrains with almost forty instruments that created a really good effect. They named it as the teacher GIVES Cappela in Venice in 1613.

The first opera house for the public was abierto in 1637. Monteverdi wrote many compositions for this theater and his the works L' Incoronazione I gave Poppae and I Ritomo d' Ullise in Mother country was prominent outside many. It even brought the styles of Canto and Buffa of belio in Italian opera. The song of belio more even had a tone and facilitated the tension of the song. Buffa had tact more comedian with the diversion elements and that they imitated. All these acted like the step for many other later composers. In the end of the century there was the opera tresciento and fifty created for the theaters of Venice only. It was inspired to many young artists who worked in these theaters and put in evidence their talents. People outer wine of Italy also.

In century XIX the romantic opera began to rise and Gioacchino Rossini was responsible for him. The romantic opera implied portions of emotions and imagination along with portions of music and Aryans. This music was so fine that above it shaded the mistakes in histories. Its calm such as the Cenerentola and barber of Seville are famous until today. Many others such as Vicente Bellini, Giuseppe Verdi and Cayetano followed it to Donizetti.

Giuseppe Verdi changed the way that the opera was written at that time. Nabucco was its first work and was a very great success due to the great refrains along with enormous vivacity in music. He even wrote the pensiero of Va, a presentation of the refrain to inspire to the soldiers at the time of Italian fight of independence. The works, that followed this had a more patriotic subject and also they were based on less romantic works. He began to venture in diverse musical forms and finally its Otello creation replaced the opera of Rossini. Its work past Falstaff finally changed the conventional form of theater and made music and the words more of free flow.
