Is opera where when someone gets stabbed instead of dying they begin to sing?

Answer 1

Hee hee. That's how it sounds to me. My family used to live across the street from a woman who taught voice lessons for opera singers. She always had her windows open so the screeching was loud and clear. I noticed children walking past her house one afternoon.....they had their hands clapped over their ears. It made me laugh. =)

Answer 2

Opera is a form of theatre in which the drama is conveyed wholly or predominantly through music and singing. Opera emerged in Italy around the year 1600 and is generally associated with the Western classical music tradition. Opera uses many of the elements of spoken theatre such as scenery, costumes, and acting. Generally, however, opera is distinguished from other dramatic forms by the importance of song and conventions of vocal technique. The singers are accompanied by a musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra. Opera may also incorporate dance; this was especially true of French opera for much of its history.
