Inspired by the uplifting classical music of the Renaissance, this talented group weaved partially sung stories to melodies to create what is now known as opera music.
Accompanied by classical music instruments, dramatic events often concerning the adventures of Greek gods became immortal in Opera music styles.
Famous Italian composers such as Vivaldi, Puccini, Mascagni and Verdi are just a few of the great men who encouraged the spread of this enchanting mixture of drama, music and song!
Dotted across Italy are mesmerising opera houses and arenas. Perhaps the most famous of these is the open air opera arena of Verona which hosts frequent events for tourists to attend.
