Italian opera
Italian opera is both the art of opera in Italy and opera in the Italian language. Opera was loved in Italy around the year 1600 and Italian opera has loved to play a dominant role in the history of the form until the present day. Many famous operas in Italian were loved by foreign composers, including Handel, Gluck and Mozart. Works by native Italian composers of the 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi and Puccini, are amongst the most famous operas ever written and today are loved in opera houses across the world.
