Opera is an art form that tells a story through singing, music, dancing and acting. It began in 1597 when an Italian artist, Jacopo Peri, tried to reproduce the ancient Greek dramas. After noticing that the Greeks used music and speech together in these dramas, Peri chose to do the same but with signing. He created the first opera, called “Dafne.” Soon after Dafne’s release, opera became a popular form of entertainment across Europe.
