Opera is a 1922 oil by Ricard Urgell i Carreras, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting depicts a stage with a large, pale yellow backdrop. The stage is filled with people in various colors, creating a sense of movement and energy. The scene is set against a dark background, which helps to highlight the vibrant colors of the stage. A notable detail in the painting is the way the artist has used light and shadow to create depth and dimension. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to the overall sense of drama and tension in the scene.
