In scholarly and historical musical contexts, melodramas are Victorian dramas in which orchestral music or song was used to accompany the action. The term is now applied to stage performances without music, novels, movies, television and radio broadcasts.
Melodrama was very popular when it first came out in Britain in the 1800s. The actors became very famous and the common story lines soon became well known. Lots of plots centred on emotions such as suffering a romance. They styles of acting could be described as stylised. if you were to watch it today you would call it `over the top`. The characters were all `larger than life` and required the actors to use a lot of energy when playing them.
Great melodrama definition; they used Proscenium Arch style Theatre, like our Theatre Royal [add a theatre diagram next]
