Q1 Read the passage and answer the questions that follows them: [5m]

Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in which the emotional content is

conveyed to the audience as much through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it is

through the lyrics. By contrast, in musical theater an actor's dramatic performance is primary,

and the music plays a lesser role. The drama in opera is presented using the primary elements

of theater such as scenery, costumes, and acting. However, the words of the opera, or libretto,

are sung rather than spoken. The singers are accompanied by a musical ensemble ranging

from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra.
