Abstract (EN)

Opera art is a stage art that is formed by the combination of drama, music and other branches of art. This branch of art, which is the invention of the Camerata Movement, appeared in the 16th century. After the emergence of this stage art, from the writing and staging of the first operas to the 18th century, opera art changed. This change has taken place substantially and extensively in the genre called Opera Seria. Works in the Opera Seria genre, composed in the 18th century, were written in a way that would take the art of music ahead of the art of drama. This change of Opera Seria has removed the art of opera, which is a combination of arts, from its originality. The composer Christoph Willibald Gluck, who will be born in the second half of the 18th century, renewed the Opera Seria genre with the reform operas he made, and by providing the combination of music and poetry in the art of opera, it became a light for the production of these two branches of art as a whole. The reform operas made by Gluck also influenced the opera composers who would come after him. On this occasion, Christoph Willibald Gluck has become an important figure in Opera History.
