French opera during the baroque period was essentially the same as Italian opera because the primary opera composer, Lully, was Italian.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

As opera's popularity spread, different styles emerged. For example, the Italian style had less influence in France, where the composer Jean-Baptiste Lully, ironically an Italian, headed the group that created and supported French opera. In his operatic style, Lully concerned himself with the text and composed arias that resembled recitative. He added musical interest with choruses, dances, and instrumental pieces when he could fit them into the story.
