		The word opera means simply "works" in Latin, the plural of opus suggesting that it combines the arts of solo and choral singing, declamation, dancing, and so forth, in a staged spectacle.
		Opera did not remain confined to court audiences for long; in 1637 the idea of a "season" (Carnival) of publicly-attended operas supported by ticket sales emerged in Venice.
		In these early Baroque operas, broad comedy was blended with tragic elements in a mix that jarred some educated sensibilities, sparking the first of opera's many reform movements, which came to be associated with the poet Pietro Metastasio, whose librettos helped crystallize opera seria's moralizing tone.

	Berlioz in Paris Opéra Le Peletier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Paris Opéra that Berlioz knew was Le Théâtre de l'Académie Royale de Musique (the Opéra), known as Le Peletier.
		After his return from Italy Berlioz eventually secured with powerful backing acceptance of his opera Benvenuto Cellini, but the organised hostility encountered by the work at its première on 10 September 1838 was one of the major setbacks in Berlioz’s career (Memoirs chapter 48).
		After a few performances the work was dropped, never to be staged again in Paris in Berlioz’s lifetime (it was revived by Liszt in Weimar in 1852 and 1856 in a modified version).

		The sumptuous and prestigious Paris Opera building, designed by Charles Garnier in 1861 and completed in 1875, is one of the largest theatre venues in the world.
		A lavish epitaph to the manic architectural activities of the Second Empire under Napoleon III, and aptly described as a "triumph of molded pastry," it lent a suitable image to the frivolity and materialism of the so-called naughty Eighties and Nineties.
		Before the Bastille Opera opened, and with the Garnier's transition to an all-dance programme, the TMP was the only Parisian venue offering a complete programme of high-quality opera.

		No, the repertoire is not as fascinating as New York City Ballet's, or even as individual as The Royal Ballet's--for one thing, the Paris Opera Ballet has for centuries not had a major choreographer to call its own.
		In fact, apart from my first sight of Symphony in C (with the original Paris east minus Tamara Toumanova) under its French nom de guerre of Le Palais de cristal, and with those fancy Leonor Fini designs, I was totally underwhelmed.
		Every year the Paris Opera holds promotion examinations for its dancers--apart from the etoiles and the senior soloists--with a jury consisting of the Paris Opera administration, a delegation of dancers, and a few foreign outsiders, who in 1977 consisted of Kenneth MacMillan, Asaf Messerer, and myself.
