    Opera was first introduced to the Philippines in the 19th century through the Spanish art form of zarzuela. Elements of tragedy and romance from zarzuelas became popular themes in early Filipino opera. The first official Philippine opera in the Tagalog language was Sandugong Panaguinip in 1902, composed by Ladislao Bonus. Since then, opera has become part of Filipino culture, performed in theaters across Manila.

    ORIGIN OF

    OPERA
    IN THE
    PHILIPPINES
    Opera is an art and music form in which singers
    and musicians perform a dramatic work
    combining text (called a libretto) and a musical
    score, usually in an elaborate theatrical setting. It
    incorporates many of the elements of spoken
    theater, such as acting, scenery, costumes, and
    sometimes includes dance. The performance is
    typically given in an opera house, cultural center,
    theater, or auditorium. It is accompanied by an
    orchestra or smaller musical ensemble. The
    dialogue is entirely sung and not spoken.
    Opera is part of the Western classical music
    form and tradition. It started in Italy at the end
    of the 16th century and soon spread through
    the rest of Europe.
    The elements of tragedy, emanating from the
    popular themes of romance, deceit, murder,
    vendetta, and other elements of human frailty,
    became a favorite story pattern of the Filipino
    opera.
    Opera was first introduced to the Philippines in
    the 19th Century or specifically 1878, through the
    zarzuela, a Spanish art and music form that
    involves spoken and sung words; it was
    eventually called sarswela after adapting to local
    culture. The sarswela would, then, more
    commonly be known as local opera.
    One of the most notable opera performances in the
    Philippines is the Sandugong Panaguinip, the first official
    Philippine opera in the Tagalog language. It was staged in
    1902 and was composed by Ladislao Bonus, who is now
    known as the Father of Philippine Opera. From then on,
    opera has become part of Filipino culture.
    Opera means “to work”.
    It includes:
    • Varied forms of overture
    • Solo songs
    • Arias
