The Birth and Life of Opera is a documentary about the influence of opera in history. The idea of opera was born during the Renaissance by intellectuals called Camarata discussing about a new music drama based on Greek tragedy. The first famous opera was L'Orpheo, which burrowed church music into the play to help to create a dramatic environment. This new kind of music drama became a success and spread thought out all Europe. Mozzart, thanks to the popularity of operas is able to spread powerful messages that will unleash the periods of revolutions. Opera was also utilized by governments as a propaganda tool to influence the people into their ideologies like Fascism and Nazism.
Opera was born from an ideas that spread ideas throughout everywhere that was an opera house. I found fascinating the influence opera had in shaping the current world. It could be say that opera gave helped to give that push in order to make the oppressed masses rise.
