Opera art and stylistic features of the Puccini Turandot opera

Teng Yue

The opera originated in Italy, as a kind of musical and dramatic work. Opera is based on the synthesis of the word, stage action and music. Unlike various types of drama theater, where music performs official and applied functions, in the opera it becomes the main carrier and driving force of action. The opera requires a holistic, consistently developing musical and dramatic concept. If it is absent, and the music only accompanies, illustrates the verbal text and the events occurring on the stage, then the operatic form disintegrates, and the specificity of the opera as a special kind of musical and dramatic art is lost.
