Answer 1

Hi,

Which form of opera was performed without elaborate costumes, scenery, or acting?

- Oratorio

Answer 2

The answer to the question is oratorio

Reason:

Like an opera, an oratorio includes the use of a choir, soloists, an ensemble, various distinguishable characters, and arias. However, opera is musical theatre, while oratorio is strictly a concert piece – though oratorios are sometimes staged as operas, and operas are sometimes presented in concert form
