Urcea's operatic roots date back to the the high medieval period, when operatic-like performances were performed by traveling troupes who would visit cities and towns across the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], performing in local venues such as town squares and churches. Opera as a formal theater style was first performed in the Duchy of [[Verecundia]] in [[1597]]. As cities grew and the wealth of the Empire increased in the recovery period of the devastation of the [[Great Confessional War]], dedicated opera houses began to be constructed in major cities. [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]'s first opera house, the ''Palace of Sound'', was built in the mid 17th century. | Urcea's operatic roots date back to the the high medieval period, when operatic-like performances were performed by traveling troupes who would visit cities and towns across the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], performing in local venues such as town squares and churches.
