Orchestra house
A cantata is a musical composition that is shorter and usually performed in a concert setting, while an opera is a full-length dramatic work that includes costumes, sets, and a storyline acted out on stage.
Greek tragedies were set off stage because the action primarily occurred in the open space of the orchestra, which was the performance area in front of the stage. The skene, or stage building, was used for actors to change costumes and sometimes to serve as a backdrop, but most of the dramatic action took place in the orchestra. Additionally, having the action occur off stage allowed for a focus on verbal storytelling and the dramatic impact of the dialogue.
Oratorio music is a form of vocal music that typically tells a religious or moral story through a combination of soloists, chorus, and orchestra. Key characteristics include a narrative structure, use of sacred texts, and dramatic elements. Unlike opera, oratorio music is usually performed without costumes or staging, focusing more on the music and storytelling.
A dramatic interlude is a short play performed during the breaks of a longer play.

During a kabuki performance, actors engage in highly stylized movements, elaborate costumes, and intricate makeup to portray a range of characters and emotions. The performances often include dramatic storytelling, musical accompaniment, and traditional Japanese dance. The dialogue is delivered in a unique, exaggerated manner, enhancing the theatrical experience. Audience interaction and appreciation of the performers' skills are also key components of kabuki theater.
