In today’s topic, I learned about the diverse contributions of Filipinos to the 20th & 21st century multimedia forms and how they are different from one another.

The Philippine Opera is a dramatic musical art form that is usually done in theaters. Similar to this are Musical Plays which are of a lighter form making the vocals easier to perform than opera performances for average singers. Last but not the least is the Philippine Ballet which is also a form of narration but differs in a way that it interprets novels through dance, coordination, and body movement.

With that, I also learned how talented we Filipinos really are & how we can achieve greatness once we are given the liberty and opportunities to do so.

I've learnt the distinctions between Philippine Opera, Philippine Ballet, and Musical Play, all of which serve various functions. Philippine opera is a dramatic art form in which musicians perform. For Philippine ballet, the emphasis is on movements that tell stories through dance. Musical plays are similar to operas, but the melody is much more manageable for average vocalists. All of this communicates messages through the arts.

In my own words, Ballet interprets a story through dancing gracefully and full of emotions, while Opera and Musical plays are close when it comes to interpreting a story as both multimedia forms require using your voice, but for me, Opera is more intense in interpreting a story because of its classical feels and non-dialogue plays.

Philippine Opera is a theatrical music play that performs the way of music and art specifically made by the musicians and singers who contributes for one another.

Philippine Ballet are mostly showcase by dancing and elegant movements of the dancers that are synchronized from one another throughout the entire performance.

Musical Play is also a theatrical form of performance, but in a more artistic and historical way within the play, their synchronized movements and voice are precise, and they also express deep meanings and emotions within their song.

I have learned that Philippine opera and Philippine ballet are two distinct forms of performing music and arts in the Philippines.

Philippine opera is a form of musical theater that combines the Operatic singing and storytelling whilst having a traditional Filipino music. While Philippine ballet is a classical dance that features dancers performing intricate and graceful movements to classical music whilst telling a story or sending a particular emotion through their dance movement. Same as to Musical Play but it focuses more on Historical and more artistical play.

Today's session taught me about the Philippine theater art forms of the 20th and 21st centuries: opera, ballet, and musical play.

By knowing about these three forms and their characteristics, I have also learned their differences and historical backgrounds and saw examples of the compositions and pieces written/performed by Filipino artists.

Their differences:

Ballet is a theatrical art form in which the story is told or performed solely through physical movements and musical accompaniment. Musical play, on the other hand, is a combination of singing, dancing, and acting--which is frequently confused with the other form, opera, whose performances typically focus more on the vocalization of the script/dialogue.

I learned the difference and the exact meanings of the three multimedia forms.

Opera is most likely about acting and rather than using words, they used tones of their voice just like what we watched.

Ballet which I observe is about dancing with a hint of acting in their performance.

I have learned the differences of Opera, Ballet and Musical plays where in :

Opera ballet and musical plays are theatrical performance of music. Opera is generally sung during the whole performance, whereas in a musical, the songs are interspersed with passages of dialogue.

Ballet on the other hand, primarily evolves around dancing and has no singing or dialogue.

What I have learned today is The Philippine musical drama, expressive dance and melodic plays reflect life in the twentieth century on the grounds that the scenes, the topic and even the primary subject of most plays, artful dance and musical drama speaks such a great amount about the life of the Filipinos.The opera not only served as a novel form of entertainment for Filipinos, but also as an avenue for the honing and development of Filipino musical skills, through their exposure and occasional participation as musicians in these opera productions.

My takeaways are that the lesson we discussed is an example of how they do this for entertainment and because they want to express their emotions and feelings. I believe that opera, ballet, and musical plays are all forms of performing arts. The distinction between the three is that ballet necessitates choreography. Opera requires a storyline and dialogue, and musical plays require singing.

# data[].attributes.body
I've learned the difference of the the three and their history and some of the famous performances of each form

A musical play typically combines spoken dialogue, acting, and singing, accompanied by musical numbers. Philippine opera is a dramatic art form that involves singing with orchestral accompaniment, often featuring elaborate costumes and staging. Philippine ballet is a dance form that tells a story through choreography and music, with a focus on graceful movements and expression. While all involve performance arts, they differ in their primary elements and artistic approaches.

I learned that each multimedia forms have a vast difference from each other, different beauties and representation that will be distributed to the masses. I also learned the importance of the occurence of this multimedia form. I gathered and understood the definition and differences of each and one of them.

Differences of Multimedia Forms

The Philippine opera is a music performed dramatically in a theatrical setting. Its common themes include murder, revenge and romance. The Philippine musical plays are in a way serve as fruits of theater and are highly influenced by broadway presentations. Its themes include adaptation from novels and the likes.

Ballet is an art form created by the movement of the human body. It is theatrical – performed on a stage to an audience utilizing costumes, scenic design and lighting. It can tell a story or express a thought, concept or emotion. Ballet dance can be magical, exciting, provoking or disturbing.

Musical theatre is a form of theatrical performance that combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance. The story and emotional content of a musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole.

Opera is a type of drama wherein the script is sung. Musical Plays does not include acting or other kinds of movements other than singing. Ballet doesn't include singing or acting, their dance portrays the emotions or messages to deliver to the audience. In conclusion, opera is acting where the script is sung, musical plays are singing, and ballet is dancing, all are mediums used to deliver messages and events from histories or other types of literature.

I have learned that Philippine Opera also includes art wherein they act, sing, and dance while Philippine Ballet expresses their interpretation through synchronized dancing to deliver the message of the novels, folktales, and stories they are pertaining to. Musical play is just like an opera but its melody is way more manageable for average singers. I have also learn what are the different contributions of Philippine Opera and Philippine Ballet in the Spaniards Colonization which help Filipinos to express their emotions into setting us free.

My takeaway is knowing the difference between the 3 topics that we discuss. Ballet, Opera, and Musical play serve different types of purposes. They show culture, and emotion while sharing stories.

PH Opera has more intense and emotional acting, they are also into more vocalization with dramatic orchestra. While in Musical Play as I observed they are more into production and acting, for me Musical play is more entertaining than the Opera since they show more funny jokes and stuff unlike Opera they are more into seriousness. While in PH ballet they express and tell the story using their steps and expression.

• My conclusions on the topics we covered today are the distinctions among Philippine Opera, Philippine Ballet, and Philippine Musical Play. I've seen that the ways in which things are carried out vary. Whereas the Philippine Ballet employs dance to play out stories, the Philippine Opera concentrates on using song to tell stories. Now, about the Philippine Musical Play, I've seen that it portrays or tells a story using both singing and dancing.

Today, I learned how to distinguish and differentiate Philippine opera, ballet, and musical play.

In the Philippines, opera draws from Western influences but often incorporates local stories, themes, and music. It's a theatrical form combining music, singing, orchestral accompaniment, and dramatic performances.

Ballet in the Philippines follows the classical style but may also incorporate elements of folk dances, cultural themes, and storytelling unique to the country. It involves highly technical and stylized dance movements set to music.

A musical play in the Philippines combines acting, singing, and dancing, telling a story through dialogue, music, and choreography. These productions often blend local culture with international influences, creating a fusion of traditional and modern elements.

I've gotten to learn their differences and their usage, alongside a summarization of their histories and performances.

Ballet is mostly performed through dancing and body movements, protraying characters with facial expressions as well. It differentiates itself from opera and musical plays for its lack of words.

Operas and musical plays can be confused with each other, although the difference is that opera is mostly sung. While musical plays have bits of dialogues before, during, or after songs.
