what are features of a recitative from an oratorio?
In the opera and oratorio, the recitative is a short intro to the aria which is meant for the star of the performance to let loose with their singing abilities during an important part of the story that may be the climax or a pivotal moment.owever, I think the more entertaining of the two would be the opera. The opera is meant to entertain the audience while oratorio may or may not entertain the audience, but sometimes used for worship. Both of them however share a common key feature and that is the recitative and the aria.
