Media like radio, television, and recordings have played a role in the development of opera and ballet
Musical performances in the 20th and 21st centuries, like ballet and opera, are relevant today due to advancements in technology
Original Filipino music (OPM) songs with themes like love for country, human frailty, ending of romance, or unresolved conflict can be interpreted through movement or visual interpretations
The musical play is a popular and generally lighter form of musical drama than the opera
The scenes in musical plays are usually more contemporary and the musical melody is more manageable by the average singer
The acting in musical plays is less intense and dramatic, and the choreography and dance sequences provide visual breaks from the ongoing plot
Musical plays have been related with the broadway plays of new York City and West End production in London
Broadway musicals are family entertainment with hints and deaths which are generally light and easy to understand
The singing in Broadway musicals is usually amplified, unlike the operatic quality of classically trained voices
