How did opera evolve into the emotional style heard in Final Fantasy VI?

In Part 2 with Dr. Tom Rudolf, we trace music history from the birth of opera to modern styles—exploring key eras, composers, and ideas that still shape game music today.

We cover: • The origins of opera in Renaissance Italy • Baroque, Classical, and Romantic styles • Composers like Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven • Nationalism and cultural identity in music

From opera houses to video games—music history is more connected than you think.
