Musical drama evolved from comic opera and operetta (or operetta) Early called musical comedy, later referred to as musical. It is an opera genre that originated in England at the end of 19, and it is a drama form that combines dialogue and singing. Musical, music, singing and dancing are equal to a furnace, full of humor and comedy. Its music is easy to understand, so it is very popular with the public. Musicals are performed all over the world, but the most frequent performances are on Broadway in new york and West End of London in England. Therefore, the names of Broadway musicals can refer to musicals staged on Broadway, and often refer to all musicals similar to Broadway styles. Musical (English), also known as musical, is a dramatic performance that combines music, songs, dance and dialogue. Humor, satire, sadness, love and anger, as moving elements, as well as the plot itself, are conveyed to the audience through the actors' language, music and movements, as well as fixed deduction. Some famous musicals include Oklahoma, The Sound of Music, west side story, Les Miserables, Cats and Phantom of the Opera. [Edit this paragraph] The difference between musicals and operas is that musicals often use some different types of pop music and pop music instruments; Dialogue without music accompaniment can be allowed in musicals; Musicals have no tradition of opera, for example, there is no distinction between recitation and aria, and the singing method is not necessarily bel canto. However, many scholars still dispute the boundary between musicals and operas. For example, Bogey and Beth composed by Gershwin was once called opera, folk opera and musical. Some musicals, such as Les Miserables, are accompanied by music from beginning to end, and some operettas, such as Carmen, have dialogues. Musicals generally have more dance elements than operas, and early musicals were even song and dance performances without scripts. Although Richard Wagner, a famous opera composer, put forward Gesamtkunstwerk in the middle of19th century, he thought that music and drama should be integrated. However, in Wagner's musical drama, music still dominates. In contrast, drama and dance elements in musicals are more important. Musicals and Musical Movies Many musicals were later transplanted into musical films, but the theatrical version is not necessarily the same as the film version, because the theater is good at scene scheduling and more abstract expression, and uses the imagination of the audience to imagine the environment where the story takes place, while the film is good at shooting real scenes and using lens editing. West side story is one of the musicals that successfully transplanted the stage version to the film version. It was shot in the streets, which set a precedent for many musical films later. There are also examples of musical films transplanted to musicals. For example, Singin' in the Rain was a musical film before it was transplanted to a musical. Many musicals were later transplanted into musical films, but the theatrical version is not necessarily the same as the film version, because the theater is good at scene scheduling and more abstract expression, and uses the imagination of the audience to fantasize about the environment where the story takes place, while the film is good at real-life shooting and lens editing.

Musicals are good at expressing the emotions of characters, the development of stories and the conflicts of dramas with music and dance. Sometimes, strong feelings that words can't express can be expressed through music and dance. Musicals belong to expressionism in the form of drama expression. In a song, time and space can be compressed or enlarged, for example, the hero and heroine can change from acquaintance to love in the process of a song, which is not allowed in the general realistic drama. Opera is a comprehensive art that integrates music (vocal music and instrumental music), drama (script and performance), literature (poetry), dance (folk dance and ballet) and stage art. It usually consists of aria, recitation, duet, chorus, overture, interlude and dance scene. As early as in ancient Greek drama, there was chorus accompaniment, and some recitations even appeared in the form of singing; In the Middle Ages, miracle dramas with religious stories as the theme and promoting religious views were also filled with incense and continued to this day. Modern western opera, which can really be called "musical", came into being at the end of16th century and the beginning of17th century with the secularization of music culture in the Renaissance. Stage play can be defined as the dramatic art presented on the stage.
