The New Grove Dictionary of Opera considers La Cilla(music by Michelangelo Faggioli, text by F. A. Tullio, 1706) to be the first genuine opera buffa; but the term refers to any Italian comic opera written approximately between that date and 1850, so it's probably not possible to be sure which was the very first.

According to records the first public opera house was opened in 1637 and was the Teatro San Cassiano in Venice, Italy.

'Fidelio' is the name Leonore took in her successful attempt to rescue her husband in Beethoven's opera 'Fidelio'.

Nordica was the first Yankee Diva- American Girl to hit big-time opera, though many think that Geraldine Farrar was the first native talent in that line, Nordica came earlier, but WA never Lead singer at the Met.

An honor-bound father, a naive son, and a selfless girlfriend is a description of what the opera La Traviata is about. The opera by Giuseppe Verdi (October 9/10, 1813 - 27 January 27, 1901) -- with lyrics by Francesco Maria Piave (May 18, 1810 - March 5, 1876) -- offers an Italian musical version of La dame aux camélias by Alexandre Dumas, fils (July 27, 1824 - 27 November 27, 1895). Violetta serves as the selfless courtesan who manages to die in her true love's arms after Alfredo's father Giorgio repents breaking them up to ensure that his daughter will make a good marriage.
