An opera is comprised of many elements. Solos, ensembles, choirs, and orchestras make up the musical element while back drops, costumes, props, and makeup encompass the elements of art. The theatrical elements include scripts, actors, and the stage. Organization of the different elements, production needs along with the previously mentioned elements combined constitute, as a whole, a work of art. An opera that is staged by university students is called a university opera. Although university operas are not high-budget productions and do not require hours of hard work and dedication, it is important for students to understand and learn what goes on behind the scenes.
