Question: What type of dramatic work does From the House of the Dead and Il re pastore have in common?
Context: Il Pompeo is a dramma per musica in three acts by composer Alessandro Scarlatti.  Written in 1682 when Scarlatti was 22 years old, it was his fourth opera and first dramatic work on a serious and grand subject.  The opera uses an Italian language libretto by Nicolò Minato which had previously been used by Francesco Cavalli for his 1666 opera "Pompeo Magno".  The work premiered at the Teatro di Palazzo Colonna in Rome on 25 January 1683. From the House of the Dead ("Z mrtvého domu" in Czech) is an opera by Leoš Janáček, in three acts.  The libretto was translated and adapted by the composer from the 1862 novel by Dostoyevsky.  It was the composer's last opera, premiered on 12 April 1930 in Brno, two years after his death. The Brunel opera project is a collaboration between Matthew King (composer), Nye Parry (sound design) and Michael Irwin (libretto) to write a dramatic work based on the life and work of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.  The opera was the subject of a special feature on BBC Radio 4, broadcast in October 2003, and the project has been documented in detail in the book, "The Reflective Conservatoire".  The opera remains a work in progress and has yet to be performed in its entirety. Die Huldigung der Künste ("The Homage of the Arts") is a dramatic poem written by Friedrich Schiller.  It was his last completed dramatic work and premiered on 12 November 1804 in Weimar.  Its final sentence, expressing Schiller's artistic credo, is "Denn aus der Kräfte schön vereintem Streben / Erhebt sich, wirkend, erst das wahre Leben". Kaddish is Leonard Bernstein's third symphony.  The 1963 symphony is a dramatic work written for a large orchestra, a full choir, a boys' choir, a soprano soloist and a narrator.  The name of the piece, "Kaddish", refers to the Jewish prayer that is chanted at every synagogue service for the dead but never mentions "death." The opera follows the usual pattern of "opera seria" of the time: "secco" recitative interlaced with "da capo" arias. Within this format Sacchini introduced strong dramatic music to suit the libretto: "stromentato" recitative is also used for extra dramatic effect, and the arias are sometimes interrupted by bursts of recitative.  Stylistically, the work is thought to anticipate Italian opera of the following decade, and in particular Mozart's "Il re pastore". Il re pastore ("The Shepherd King") is an opera, K. 208, written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to an Italian libretto by Metastasio, edited by Giambattista Varesco.  It is an opera seria.  The opera was first performed on 23 April 1775 in Salzburg, at the Palace of the Archbishop Count Hieronymus von Colloredo. The term festa teatrale (Italian: ] , plural: "feste teatrali" ] ) refers to a genre of drama, and of opera in particular.  The genre cannot be rigidly defined, and in any case "feste teatrali" tend to be split into two different sets: "feste teatrali" divided by acts are operas, while works in this genre performed without division, or merely cut into two parts, are serenatas.  A "festa teatrale" is a dramatic work, performed on stage (unlike many serenatas, which are labelled "drammatico" but were not performed in dramatic contexts). Opera (] ; English plural: "operas"; Italian plural: "opere" ] ) is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text (libretto) and musical score, usually in a theatrical setting.  In traditional opera, singers do two types of singing: recitative, a speech-inflected style and arias, a more melodic style, in which notes are sung in a sustained fashion.  Opera incorporates many of the elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery, and costumes and sometimes includes dance.  The performance is typically given in an opera house, accompanied by an orchestra or smaller musical ensemble, which since the early 19th century has been led by a conductor. Dramatic structure (also called Freytag's pyramid) is the structure of a dramatic work such as a play or film.  Many scholars have analyzed dramatic structure, beginning with Aristotle in his "Poetics" (c. 335 BCE).  This article focuses primarily on Gustav Freytag's analysis of ancient Greek and Shakespearean drama.
