"in medias res."
As with any story-telling medium, the start of an opera begins with a solid story which contains a beginning, a middle and an end.
plot
In the beginning of West Side story, the story begins. LOL.
The plot of the play 'Antigone' is triangular, because of the clearly demarcated beginning, middle and end to the story; and the clearly identifiable rising and falling actions. The play begins with the exposition of the conflict or crisis. What will Antigone do about the burial of her brother Eteocles and the non-burial of her brother Polyneices? The rising action links the story's beginning and middle. The play's action rises with Antigone's sprinkling with dust and anointing with oil the corpse of her brother Polyneices. The play climaxes with the confrontation between Theban King Creon and Antigone, his niece and future daughter-in-law. The play's action falls with Antigone's death sentence. It ends with the resolution in the aftermath of Teiresias the blind prophet's predictions of doom and gloom for the royal household. In quick succession, Polyneices' body is given proper burial; Antigone, Haemon, and Eurydice commit suicide; and the King is disgraced.
The ship hits the iceberg. This also causes the "sinking" action.

The middle of a story is known as the "rising action." This is where the conflict and tension of the story increases, leading up to the climax.
In medias res is a writing technique where a story begins in the middle of the action rather than at the beginning of the narrative. This approach is commonly used to capture the reader's attention and create immediate engagement by thrusting them into the heart of the story. It allows for an exciting and dynamic start that draws the audience into the plot quickly.

the poem begins in the middle of the story.
The falling action takes place after the climax. This is when the story begins to die down and there is less action. The story is almost resolved at this point.

(Apex) The middle.
That is called "in media res," a Latin term meaning "in the middle of things." It is a narrative technique where a story begins at a crucial point in the middle of the action, and then goes back to explain how the characters arrived at that point.
