Italian is just a beautiful language to sing in. It has what is known as 'open vowels', lots of 'ee', and 'ah' sounds.

Listen to Puccinni, Rossinni, Verdi, Mozart.

The music is sublime, but if the libretto was in French, I doubt the operas would be as popular asa they are today.

I find it sounds better when they don't sing,

I'm serious I have the cd Opera without the words|||because almost everything rhymes in italian...|||Yes and no. I've heard opera in Italian, Spanish, German and English. English and German eh... but Spanish and Italian that was cool. I don't what they are saying either but it just seems to fit better somehow.|||Italian is a language with many vowels and few harsh consonants; as a result, it's a "gentler" language for singing, in my opinion. Latin is even better, but I don't know of any Latin operas!|||It does sound better, doesn't it?
