He specified huge orchestral forces for some of his works, and conducted several concerts with more than 1,000 musicians. He also composed around 50 songs.

In traditional opera, singers do two types of singing: recitative, a speech-inflected style and arias, a more melodic style. 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. - Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance. The term comes from a Greek word meaning "action" (Classical Greek: , "drama"), which is derived from "to do" (Classical Greek: , "drao").

Thalia was the Muse of comedy (the laughing face), while Melpomene was the Muse of tragedy (the weeping face). Considered as a genre of poetry in general, the dramatic mode has been contrasted with the epic and the lyrical modes ever since Aristotle's "Poetics" (c. 335 BCE)the earliest work of dramatic theory. - Eleanor Campbell King (19061991) was an American modern dancer, choreographer, and educator.

The libretto was written by Berlioz himself from Virgil's epic poem the " Aeneid"; the score was composed between 1856 and 1858. "Les Troyens" is Berlioz's most ambitious work, the summation of his entire artistic career, but he did not live to see it performed in its entirety. Under the title "Les Troyens a Carthage", the last three acts were premiered with many cuts by Leon Carvalho's company, the Theatre Lyrique, at their theatre (now the Theatre de la Ville) on the Place du Chatelet in Paris on 4 November 1863, with 21 repeat performances. - Mary Wigman (born Marie Wiegmann, 13 November 1886 18 September 1973) was a German dancer, choreographer, notable as the pioneer of expressionist dance, dance therapy, and movement training without pointe shoes.
