What is an "aria"?
An aria is a solo vocal piece in an opera, oratorio, or other large vocal work. It is designed to showcase the singer's voice and emotional expression, usually with a more elaborate and expressive melody than other parts of the work. In an aria, the singer often reflects on personal feelings or a specific situation, providing a moment of musical and emotional intensity within the larger context of the performance.
