PARTS OF AN OPERA

 PARTS OF THE OPERA



OVERTURE 

It is the first part of an opera. It's like an instrumental introduction. It is performed before the action starts, with the curtain down.


  • Verdi - La Traviata (overture)



SUNG PARTS

Sung parts in an opera are the recitatives and the arias:


RECITATIVE
The word 'recitative' comes from 'recite' or 'recitate' (recitar). The recitatives are sung quickly. In fact, it's half spoken half sung. The characters dialogue.


ARIAS 
Arias are the most important parts in an opera. Singers show their abilities

CHORUS 
The choir sings.



INSTRUMENTAL PARTS

INTERLUDES and INTERMEZZOS
