Opera in the United States dates back to the 18th century and developed from an imported European luxury into a vibrant, distinctly American art form. In the 19th and 20th centuries, tours, first by European artists and later by the Met, brought opera also to remote regions. Since 1931, regular radio broadcasts, and since 1949, televised operas, have contributed to the genre's popularity. Today, opera in the United States balances grand traditional productions with groundbreaking contemporary works.
