Musical theatre is a hybrid form of theatre combining music, songs, spoken dialogue and dance. The emotional content of the piece – humor, pathos, love, anger – as well as the story itself, is communicated through the words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Opera is an art form in which singers and musicians perform a dramatic work combining text and musical score. Opera is part of the Western classical music tradition. Opera incorporates elements of spoken theatre, such as acting, scenery and costumes and sometimes includes dance.

The most fundamental difference is that Verdi's operas are traditional 'number' operas (a series of shorter pieces strung together). whereas Wagner's operas are 'through composed' (ie conceived and composed as a long, continuous and largely seamless whole). In addition, Wagner makes substantial use of the 'Leitmotif' - whereby certain musical themes and harmonies are associated with individual characters and locations within the opera, something Verdi did not employ.
