How do musicals differ from operas?
While both musicals and operas involve music and storytelling, they differ primarily in style and execution. Musicals often incorporate a variety of musical styles and place a greater emphasis on spoken dialogue, whereas operas are typically sung-through, relying heavily on classical vocal technique and orchestration. Additionally, musicals tend to appeal to a broader audience due to their often diverse and contemporary themes.
