Opera : Western Opera in italian is called "opera lirica" or Lyric work. Lyric is defined for "appropriate song". In ancient times the Greek Theatre had a strong musical component. Typically the verses written for the chorus---which serve as moral teacher that made commentaries upon the action----were set to Music. But the first great Operatic Composer was Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643). His first Opera was Orfeo based on a myth of Orpheus and Eurydice was produced in the court of Mantua in 1607.Monteverdi used a particular singing forms that remain aprt of Opera today, with changes evolving the centuries, best known as "Aria "(air), a song sung by one singer.

Modern Art. Its future direction If time is infinite change is infinite and art cannot run out of subject matter or the infinite ways of ways of production of art value at the artist’s disposal. Art is one peculiar way of understanding human behavior and there will be no end to this knowledge as successive waves of avant-garde and increasing understanding of different cultures testify. Art will continue to enlarge the scope of individual freedom by expanding awareness of our options for action and for novel forms of human relationships. |

What about the Eastern Art? Western art these days has been very much tainted by speculations of psychiatric institutions into human behavior and try to represent the somber fear that if the instincts are not controlled civilization will fall into chaotic disarray. Once the shackles of the fears of appearing ‘mentally unhealthy’ have been broken western art can get back to what it does best which is to highlight the convergence between reason and romanticism in its artistic depictions |
