Opera consists only of singing, with no (or very little) spoken dialog. "Operatic" singing is often characterized by very tall vowel sounds and rapid vibrato (voice-shaking). Broadway, on the other hand, performs a variety of show-types and includes more acting and spoken dialog for a more understandable storyline, although they are full of showtunes.
