Operatic adaptation

An operatic adaptation involves transforming a story from another form—such as a novel, play, or film—into an opera. This process combines the original narrative with music, singing, and orchestration, emphasizing emotional expression and dramatic intensity. The adaptation retains key plot points and themes but expresses them through vocal performance and musical scores, often highlighting characters’ inner feelings. It’s a creative reinterpretation that bridges literary or cinematic works with the art of opera, offering audiences a new, immersive way to experience the story through both visual and auditory artistry.
