How did opera of the Baroque era pave the way for modern-day entertainment?

But if we reflect on the conventional elements in our own pop culture (for example in sitcoms, detective stories, and music videos), we realize that conventions exist for our pleasure and convenience; they give us what we want in an efficient, if non-realistic, way.” Discuss ways in which opera of the Baroque era has paved the way for our modern-day entertainment with TV, movies, and even live pop music concerts. What similarities exist? What elements of Baroque opera are still present in some fashion in modern genres? Provide modern examples in your response.
