Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in

which the emotional content is conveyed to the audience as
much through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it is
through the lyrics. By contrast, in musical theater an actor's
dramatic performance is primary, and the music plays a
lesser role. The drama in opera is presented using the
primary elements of theater such as scenery, costumes, and
acting. However, the words of the opera, or libretto, are
sung rather than spoken. The singers are accompanied by a
musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental
ensemble to a full symphonic orchestra.
We can understand from the reading that ----.
A) people are captivated more by opera than musical theater
B) drama in opera is more important than the music
C) orchestras in operas can vary considerably in size
D) musical theater relies above all on music
E) there is argument over whether the music is important or
the words in opera
