An Opera is performed by vocalists and musicians and usually takes place in an opera house. Opera is a very sophisticated form of musical theater that usually includes costumes and stage scenery. Opera is believed to have originated in Italy in the late 17th century since the word "opera" itself stems from the Italian term for "work." Operas are now a big part of most countries' cultures. Famous opera singers include Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Jose Carreras. These musicians are commonly known as the "Three Tenors" for their collaborative work.
Some popular contemporary operas include The Barber of Seville, which was composed by Gioachino Rossini; Carmen, which deals with the life and death of a gypsy by the same name; and La Boheme, which premiered in 1896.
