Although I am not a big fan of Opera, I did find it interesting when the narrator talked about how the origin of Opera came to be. By combining music, theatre , and poetry and specific lighting, the birth of Opera set the stage for most future types of media today. In addition, the marriage of Henry the fourth that sparked the second opera still relates to the general idea today that fame and "royalty" can act as inspiration for many mediums of media.
Opera, like any other type of media, tries to evoke any type of emotion from the viewer. However, in comparison to other types of mediums, Opera may holds the most power ( depending on who you ask) in evoking emotion from viewers because of the fact that opera combines many different elements, each one being able to provoke a different emotion in different ways.
