The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It appeared in 1597, when the first opera, Dafne, by Jacopo Peri, was created.
- Since then it has developed parallel to the various musical currents that have followed one another over time up to the present day, generally linked to the current concept of classical music.
- Opera is a musical genre that combines symphonic music, usually performed by an orchestra, and a written dramatic text, expressed in the form of a libretto, interpreted vocally by singers of different tessitura: tenor, baritone, and bass for the male register, and soprano, mezzo-soprano, and contralto for the female, in addition to the so-called white voices or in falsetto.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The History of opera article was read about 36,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 100 and blocks with 95: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
