Opera is a special kind of music that began in Italy a long time ago, at the end of the 16th century. It’s like a play where the actors don’t just talk—they sing! Imagine watching a story where everyone sings their lines. That’s what opera is all about!
In an opera, you will see singers playing different characters in a story. They are accompanied by a big group of musicians called an orchestra. The orchestra plays beautiful music that helps tell the story and makes the performance even more exciting.
Here’s something really cool about opera singers: they don’t use microphones like pop stars do! Instead, they use their lungs and tummy muscles to make their voices loud enough for everyone in the big opera house to hear. Isn’t that amazing?

Sound Experiment: Try singing a song without a microphone, just like opera singers. Stand in different parts of a room and see how your voice changes. Does it sound different when you sing in a small room compared to a large one? This will help you explore how opera singers project their voices to fill a big opera house.

Opera is a genre of music that started in Italy at the end of the 16th century. Its main characteristic is that it tells a story as if it were a play, but instead of talking, the performers sing. In opera, we can hear a large orchestra and see opera singers portraying the different characters in the story.
Did you know that originally, opera singers didn’t use microphones? They relied on their respiratory systems and abdominal muscles to amplify their voices and make themselves heard on the stages of large opera houses. Isn’t that incredible?
