Opera

An opera is an artwork (in fact, the word "opera" means work in Italian) where music is supported by a narrative of any kind. If it were the other way around, it would be a musical. Operas are usually collaborations between a composer and a librettist. Perhaps the most prominent composer is Giuseppe Verdi, who composed the likes of La foca and L'isola dei sogni. But his works have been overshadowed by the ultimate opera: a browser. Thus, any other work would be considered to be an inferior grazer.
