How do you differentiate between opera or musical?
Here's what I've found out and putting it in layman terms...
Opera uses music to tell the entire story, even when two actors are speaking to each other, they use lyric and music to express...
Musical is plainly using music as background of the story... they also sing some parts of it, but also have some normal conversation speaking moments...
Recently have been a little artsy... I listened to this great Boston channel on classical music and their website has this recorded opera singing on "Madame White Snake". Feel free to listen to it...
Someday I should spend my time and money to go watch an opera...
