The Opera, a world of wonder,

Where music and drama merge in thunder,

A stage for tales of love and war,

Where heroes and villains meet to soar.

The curtain rises, the lights go down,

A hush descends upon the crowd,

The orchestra strikes a solemn chord,

And from the wings, the cast appears on board.

With voices clear and powerful,

The singers bring their tales to life,

Their songs a window to the soul,

A mirror to our joys and strife.

The costumes, dazzling and divine,

Add to the spectacle of the show,

As dancers whirl and twirl in time,

And the drama reaches a crescendo.

From Mozart to Puccini,

From Verdi to Rossini,

The masters of the art,

Bring their stories to the heart.

The passion, the romance, the tragedy,

All find expression on the stage,

As the audience is swept away,

In a sea of emotion and sage.

The Opera, a world of wonder,

A place where dreams come true,

Where music and drama intertwine,

In a symphony of colors and hue.

So let us raise our voices high,

And sing the praises of this art,

For the Opera, a world of wonder,

Will forever remain in our heart.

Opera, the art of art forms,

Where music and drama collide,

A synthesis of sound and emotion,

A symphony of love and pride.

The stage is set, the curtain rises,

The orchestra swells, the singers appear,

Their voices soaring, their hearts afire,

As the tale of the opera draws near.

From the gentle arias of love,

To the thunderous choruses of war,

The music sweeps us up above,

To a world we've never known before.

The costumes, the sets, the lighting,

All come together to create,

A tapestry of sights and sounds,

That leave us breathless, in a state.

The characters, so vivid and alive,

Their stories woven into song,

Their hopes and fears, their passions drive,

The opera carries us along.

And when the final curtain falls,

And the music fades to silence,

We're left with memories of a world,

That we'll cherish for all of time's essence.

Opera, the art of art forms,

A world of wonder, of love and pride,

Where music and drama intertwine,

And our hearts and souls collide.

Oh, how I wish I could be an Opera,

A work of art so grand and true,

To sing and dance upon the stage,

And touch the hearts of all who view.

To rise up high in moments of joy,

To fall to depths in times of woe,

To tell a story through melody,

And with my voice, to make it flow.

To dress in costumes of finest silk,

To stand amidst a set so grand,

To be the focus of the show,

And take the breath away of every fan.

To sing of love, of passion, of life,

To share the emotions that we all feel,

To bring to light the beauty of art,

And in that moment, to make it real.

To be a part of something bigger,

A world of music, of drama and light,

To touch the souls of those who listen,

And make their spirits take flight.

Oh, how I wish I could be an Opera,

To live a life upon the stage,

To share my voice with all who hear,

And in that moment, to engage.

The beauty of the Opera,

Is like a flower in full bloom,

Its petals open wide with grace,

Its fragrance fills the room.

The music flows like a river,

Through the halls of time and space,

The singers' voices blend together,

In a harmony of grace.

The stories told are of love,

Of heartbreak and despair,

The characters stand tall and proud,

In the grandeur of their air.

The costumes are a sight to see,

A work of art and skill,

The sets are like a painting,

In which the actors are still.

The Opera is a masterpiece,

A treasure of the arts,

It captures our imagination,

And plays upon our hearts.

The beauty of the Opera,

Is like a sunrise in the sky,

It fills us with wonder and awe,

And makes us feel alive.

So let us bask in its splendor,

And be transported to another time,

Let us revel in its glory,

And let our spirits climb.

For the beauty of the Opera,

Is like a gift from above,

A precious gem to be cherished,

And a treasure to be loved.
