Opera is like a big storybook where people sing instead of talk. Imagine your favorite bedtime story, but instead of just reading it, the characters come to life and sing their feelings and adventures. The singers wear fancy costumes, just like dressing up for Halloween, to become the characters in the story.
Think of opera as a musical playground. In this playground, singers use their voices like musical instruments to tell stories. Sometimes they sing loudly like a lion roaring, and other times softly like a kitten purring. The music helps show how the characters are feeling, like if they are happy, sad, or excited.
Opera is also like a big colorful painting. The stage is full of bright lights and colors, and there are lots of people working together to make everything look beautiful. There are musicians playing instruments, dancers moving gracefully, and singers telling the story with their voices. It’s a big team effort to create something magical that everyone can enjoy.
