Opera is a form of theater where actors scripts (libretto) is attached to a music score. Opera is performed at concert venues where there is a stage for the actors and scenery and an orchestra pit directly in front of the stage. The conductor of the orchestra also directs the singing performers and/or choruses on stage.

Yes, but they were very small because the sounds did not carry well (no amplification). Concert halls were specifically designed that used echos from the ceiling and walls to distribute the sound through the room. Travel was difficult back then, so the musicians performing in these concerts rarely performed in any other venue.

How did composers live and make their money during the classical period?

In the classical period of Western music, the late eighteenth century, composers were commissioned by patrons, the owners of orchestras: essentially the church, the nobility, and the opera houses. Beethoven was able to earn enough from publications and public concerts to break out of the patronage relationship, though he was not the first; Marenzio in the sixteenth century and Telemann in the early eighteenth were notable earners, and travelling performer-composers could always have some independence.

When did classical music get famous?

Classical music wasn't as you know it today. Today we have multiple genres spanning the entire music scene of the world. Several centuries ago Classical music was simply music. There was no disparity between what was classical and what was not. Nearly everything of the time was classical therefore it became popular from its inception. In terms of instrumental classical music, that took off at the demise of the Baroque Period and beginning of the Classical period. Rising middle-class wages allowed for a wider range of audience in virtuoso performances and public orchestras. Music was a sign of prestige and therefore those who could not perform at least attended. It was one of the primary sources of entertainment besides plays. Popularity for classical music has dwindled since the 19th century. And there is little hope it will be revived through the few neo-classical artists remaining.
