• History: Opera began in Florence, Italy during the 16th century.  Performing a dramatic work of text and music, opera uses many parts of spoken theater, and is usually accompanied by an orchestra or other small musical cast.  While opera singers come from all around the world, the United States has produced some very successful performers.  Lily Pons (April 12, 1898 - February 13, 1976) worked with the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, where she performed almost 300 times from 1931 to 1960.  Also getting his start at the Metropolitan Opera, Richard Tucker (August 28, 1913 - January 8, 1975) had an illustrious 30-year career.  He is still the only person to ever have their funeral on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera.  Performing more than 600 times at the Metropolitan Opera was Lawrence Tibbett.  He currently has a star on the "Hollywood Walk of Fame."  Rosa Ponselle (January 22, 1897 - May 25, 1981) was considered one of the greatest sopranos of the past 100 years and was featured in operas around the world.
