For numerous reasons - Escapism and a combination of things for people to enjoy - music, singing, acting plus it can be a social event. Also, then there was no radio, T.V., records etc so people had to make their own entertainment and if you leave aside the major / professional Opera companies, then you have participation in amateur groups etc.

However opera is still very popular and just like the past for numerous reasons - Escapism and a combination of things for people to enjoy - music, singing, acting plus it can be a social event. Also in the 'past' there was no radio, T.V., records etc so people had to make their own entertainment and if you leave aside the major / professional opera companies, then you have participation in amateur groups etc.

∙ 13y agoYou have to imagine the times you talk about, nowadays everybody goes to concerts, movietheaters, renting a DVD, music as we know it now is merely an evolution of the music composed in the classical, romantic and baroque era's.
An opera is a story told with different singing voices and music and acting. Just like a musical nowadays. In 2011 you can go to various musicals, in the early times where we speak of, you went to an opera. Lovestories, drama, murder, cheating, everything is just like today put into an opera. So it was as popular then as a musical, theater or even a movie nowadays. Entertainment.
