Composers

As far as I know, the composer is Albinoni, though I have not been able to ascertain the name of the piece itself.

Perhaps you are referring to Giuseppe Verdi, the Romantic era Italian composer. He lived in the 1800's.

Chopin wrote secular music. All of it is for or at least involves his instrument, the piano. He wrote no sacred music at all.

He actually wrote the music for two stage musical productions. The first was Coco (with Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner) which was about the early life of Coco Chanel, starred Katharine Hepburn as Coco and ran on Broadway from December 18 1969 for 329 performances. It cost $900,000 (paid for by Paramount Pictures) and was the most expensive Broadway musical staged at that time. It also toured the US throughout 1971, again starring Hepburn. Previn's second stage musical was The Good Companions, based on the novel by JB Priestley with lyrics by Johnny Mercer. It was written for London's west end and opened in July 1974, running for 252 performances. It starred Sir John Mills and Judi Dench. Don't forget Previn also wrote the additional songs for the movie of Paint Your Wagon as well as the great Film Musical It's Always Fair Weather.

Emma Bardac was Claude Debussy's wife.

It comes from his opera 'Arsilda, Regina di Ponto' which was first performed in Venice at the Teatro Sant'Angelo in 1716.

Chopin never wrote any symphonies

Mozart got married once in his life, and his wife's name is Constanza.

he started preforming when he came back from Paris

He used to play there a lot.

Within this context -- any Verdi opera would be considered a classical opera.

Because Beethoven is one of the greatest composers and musicians that ever lived and because his scores were among the best of that time that he lived in and they are still remembered today as old classics.

The Moonlight

No, he's not Jewish and was raised a Roman Catholic.

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.

It was composed as an orchestral interlude as part of the opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Tsar Saltan was first produced in 1900, and Tchaikovsky died 1893. Therefore he was probably not directly associated with it because he was dead when it was completed. However, the two composers were quite close and visited one another often.

Pachelbel's

Or Canon in D, by Pachelbel.

If it's the joke it's:

He is decomposing.

The standard textbook answer regarding the first opera is 'Daphne' or 'Dafne' first performed in 1598 during Carnival at the home of Jacopo Corsi in Florence. The music was by Jacopo Peri to a libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini. It is recognized as such because it was the first of a series of similar pieces that established the form of early 17th century Italian opera. The score does not survive.
