Good Italian operas have been putting passion, love, drama, betrayals, revenge and mystery on stage for 400 years. Often called the ultimate form of art, Italian opera has it all: a blend of music, singing, literature, acting, dance, costumes and much more.

ALL filled with DRAMA. From mythological tales to Egyptian history and Parisian bohemians to 19th century Sicily, telling stories of political turmoils and wonderful passions (with shocking plot twists and last-minute cliffhangers), opera has spanned centuries worth of stories with one constant: amazing female characters.
