What is Entertaiment?

Entertaiment is an activity that gives pleasure to people. It can involve a large audience watching performances like theatre, opera, concerts and movies; it can also be private and spontaneous like children’s games. Many forms of entertainment have evolved over centuries and new ones are constantly being created. One of the most famous examples is Scheherazade, a story in the Persian professional storytelling tradition that inspired orchestral works by Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel and Szymanowski, a film by Pasolini and innovative video games.
