What is Opera?
Opera is a form of theatre in which music has a leading role and the parts are taken by singers, but is distinct from musical theatre. Such a “work” (the literal translation of “opera”) is typically a collaboration between a composer and a librettist and incorporates a number of the performing arts, such as acting, scenery, costume, and sometimes dance or ballet. 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.

The short answer is yes, Apple Music does offer a selection of operas. However, the selection is fairly limited compared to other genres such as pop or rock. There are currently only around 50 operas available to stream on Apple Music.
If you’re a fan of opera, there are a few ways to find what’s available on Apple Music. First, you can search for specific operas by title. For example, searching for “Madama Butterfly” will bring up several different recordings of the opera, including one by famed soprano Maria Callas.
You can also browse opera by composer. Currently, the most represented composer on Apple Music is Giuseppe Verdi, with eight different operas available. Other well-represented composers include Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (seven operas), Giacomo Puccini (six), and Georges Bizet (five).
Unfortunately, if you’re looking for a particular opera that isn’t currently available on Apple Music, you’re out of luck. The selection of operas on the service is fairly limited, and there’s no way to request that new titles be added. You may have better luck with another streaming service such as Spotify or Pandora, which both offer a wider variety of classical music, including opera.
