The Birth and Life of Opera showcased the evolution of opera and the impact it had on culture and nationalism. It was interesting for me to learn about how opera was born because I previously did not know too much about the topic. People are always striving to improve and for the next best thing, so it makes sense that they created opera as a way to blend music, poetry, art, and performance all into one.
What surprised me was how much of a role opera played in the lives of so many people and how fast it spread. The more emotion the opera provoked, the more people got drawn into the art of opera and became obsessed with the entertainment aspect of it all. Opera shines as one of the original forms of multimedia and I am now beginning to understand to appreciate it more for what it truly is.
