Not always. There are many operas that have English translations. Amateur Opera companies and especially undergraduate opera singers often use English translations of operas in other languages. For instance, last year my college put on Die Fledermaus which is supposed to be in German, but we performed the English translation. Unless the cast is fluent or well-versed in diction with the original language, it is not wise to attempt recitatives and/or dialogue in an unfamiliar language.

The second one. Traditionally, operas have little or no spoken dialogue at all - as opposed to musicals, which have songs to illustrate major sequences and dialogue in between. (Thus Lloyd Webber's "Phantom", insofar as the film, is NOT actually a traditional opera, nor is the stage show; it is technically a musical.)
Why is opera sung in Italian?
Italy was greatly affected by the Renaissance, and they were probably the ones who had a great interest in operas in the first place. Italian is also a classic language for artistic performances, as many people in opera have to learn Italian and German because many of them were written in more classic languages than English. Also, Italians like pasta and lots of it, and you need to exercise your diaphragm to belt out many of those poweful notes in Italian arias.
