Opera (English plural: operas; Italian plural: opere) is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text (called a libretto) and musical score, usually in a [[theater|theatrical setting]]. Opera incorporates many of the elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery, and [[costume]]s and sometimes includes [[dancing]]. The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an [[orchestra]] or smaller musical ensemble.
