Etymology
Arabic borrowed أوبرا directly from Italian opera in the modern era, as Arab cities built theaters and staged Western musical drama. Italian opera itself comes from Latin opus, meaning a work, since an opera was originally a work combining music, text, and staging. The word entered Arabic essentially unchanged in sound, adapted only to Arabic script and pronunciation.
