Nice! I like this selection of terms. I especially like the word “futurism” and “aria” and would love to read about it in a review. They’re not too simple, but the definitions you provided make them easy to understand :) Thanks!
I like your choice of words because I never knew the exact meaning of some of them, particularly aria and interlude. Your definitions are to the point, which makes them easy to remember. I would love it if you gave some examples of futurism so I could have a better idea of what it is. Also as a follow up question, does the word drama refer to only serious genres of theatre or can it be applied more broadly?
Keep up the good work!
You have a unique collection of terms, which is great because some of them are new to me. The definitions are easy to understand. The only question that I have is in regard to the term “drama”. It seems like your definition is a bit incomplete. I think that your definition can be improved with some detail and some information about comedy, which you used as a contrast.
I enjoyed reading your theater definitions because I was not familiar with some of the terms, particularly “aria” and “futurism.” Like Alessandra, I would also like to see words such as these used in context of a theater review. Other than that, your definitions were very brief and unambiguous.
