Are there any operas in which there is dancing?
CarmenThere are ballet sequences in many operas. One of the most famous is the Dance of The Hours from Ponchielli's La Gioconda.
Are all operas performed in the language of the composer?
Not always. There are many operas that have English translations. Amateur opera companies and especially undergraduate opera singers often use English translations of operas in other languages. For instance, last year my college put on Die Fledermaus which is supposed to be in German, but we performed the English translation. Unless the cast is fluent or well-versed in diction with the original language, it is not wise to attempt recitatives and/or dialogue in an unfamiliar language.
