Abstract: The existence of the art of opera in Turkey dates back to the latest period of Ottoman Empire during the early 19th century. Considering that the development of the art of opera in Turkey is evaluated within the period, the first contact was obtained with opera in the Ottoman era, two different periods may be mentioned as before and after the Ottoman period; i.e. the Republic period. However, given two periods differently, the art of opera may be seen differently from various perspectives; when the difference between the more systematic cultural policies started with the Republic for the first time in this sense, the perspective of the Ottomans related to culture and art became prominent. The most important problem to be discussed at this point is questioning the extent to which this art has reached and was accepted during both the periods. Thus, it is seen that the art of opera under the Ottoman administration failed in stooping at public’s level and was seen in the palace and its environment. During the period during the Republic, it may be stated that the art of opera was handled through more regular policies; yet, it encountered problems in reaching the public. In addition, the advancement which opera progressed from the Ottoman period to the Republic will be seen when the popularity and acceptance of the art opera in Turkey is analyzed.
