Opera is sort of like a live play - only everything is sung and there are no speaking parts. The first opera ever written was WAY back in 1597! Those who sing opera, unlike in plays, do not use microphones! They are trained so intensely that their voice alone can fill an entire music hall - so think of being able to sing from the field at Arrowhead without a mic and the entire stadium could hear you are though you were right next to them! Yup, opera singers are that good!
So while we don't have a ton of opera books in the IS, we do have one that will give you a bit of history. And while you are at it, check out the other link and listen to a bit of opera as well!
