It was initially an attempt to recreate the ancient Greek theatre which was believed to involve music. Opera then continued to be a form of theatre in which the music played the major role and in which the parts were taken by singers instead of actors. Opera has continually reinvented itself ranging from being a showcase for fine singing (though not always) to the most sublime form of theatre and occasionally both.
Loveland Opera Theatre was created in 2004.
Hawaii Opera Theatre was created in 1960.
Novaya Opera Theatre was created in 1991.

Because when you sing opera your voice has to go higher than singing normal
Opera has little to no speaking. Most the time, no talking whatsoever, all singing. A play, I assume you mean musical, has much more of a script. The scores' music only interjects throughout the story, instead of carrying it. Musical Theatre requires a major acting background, Opera requires an extensive singing background.
