Some famous female roles in the history of opera have only been possible because 19th-century composers started giving important roles to mezzo-sopranos.

By the Baroque period (1600-1750), opera had taken Europe by storm, a spectacular and expensive affair filled with ornate arias and elaborate sets with moving parts. One of the greatest composers of Italian baroque opera was George Friedrich Handel (1685-1759), a German who spent most of his life in London.

This period also saw the emergence of castrati, male singers who were castrated as boys to maintain their soprano voices. Those who survived to come out on top were the singing stars of the 17th and 18th centuries. Today these roles are sung by countertenors or women.

Answer:

Czechoslovakia

Explanation:

The invasion of Warsaw Pact member states (except Romania) into Czechoslovakia began at 11 am on the evening of August 20 of 1968 with the crossing of the Warsaw Pact countries' combined forces across the Czechoslovak borders.

After half past three in the morning on August 21, airplanes, sirens and engines were heard in Prague. At three, all the lights were off in the capital. Speakers from the radio said that former allies were treacherous, that aggression had been committed, that the attack on Prague was a crime unknown in international law. At about three in the morning, Soviet commandos occupied the Prague airport, and then tanks flew from large planes toward the city center.
