Ответ

1. I know opera, ballet, drama, musical theatre and circus. I enjoy drama most because it makes me think and feel deeply.
2. I first got acquainted with the performing arts when I was a child. It happened when my parents took me to a theatre performance.
3. The theatre has a long history. It began in ancient Greece, where performances were connected with religious festivals. Later theatre developed in many countries and became one of the most important arts.
4. I remember William Shakespeare, Anton Chekhov, Molière and Bernard Shaw. Shakespeare lived in the 16th–17th centuries, Chekhov in the 19th–20th centuries, Molière in the 17th century, and Shaw in the 19th–20th centuries. Their famous works include Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, The Cherry Orchard, The Seagull, Tartuffe and Pygmalion.
5. A successful performance needs a good play, talented actors, a skilled director, beautiful scenery, costumes, music and a warm audience.
6. The audience should be quiet, attentive and polite. They should not talk loudly, use mobile phones, eat or disturb other people.
7. Yes, I agree. Theatre often requires knowledge, imagination and a good understanding of life and people.
8. This line means that life is like a play, and people are like actors who play different roles during their lives.
