Italian Opera

Italy is the home of opera music. Opera music was created in Italy in the 17th century by Italian music composer Claudio Monteverdi. Italy has produced a consistent stream of some of the world’s best opera singers, conductors and composers up to the present day. For example, Luciano Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli who are both singers of opera music.Because the grandiose nature of opera music, it relies heavily on the presence of favourable acoustics in the building that the opera music is being performed in. Examples of fantastic opera houses in Italy can be found in Milan, Venice, Naples and Verona to name only a few.
