All Opera singers can sing in Latin if need be - for example a mass or requiem, it is just a matter of learning the words, just as they do for any other item they would sing.
There are no operas in Latin! There are many sacred works such as masses and requiems as stated above, but they are not necessarily only sung by opera singers. Many singers specialize in sacred works and never sing opera. And many opera singers choose to sing only opera.
Latin has nothing to do with opera.
Opera singers all sing all kinds of operas. There are no special terms for singers of comic operas.

== == It's like a play, but the story is sung instead of simply spoken. As in a play, the characters act and there is staging. Some operas have spoken dialogue between songs; in others, everything is sung. An orchestra accompanies the singers. And while the stereotype of an opera singer is a fat lady wearing a hat with two horns, in real life opera singers come in all shapes and sizes! The point of opera is not just to sing high notes. The high notes are sung to show off the soprano's voice. If you don't like opera, try being in one. Your opinion will dramatically change.
Singers often have their own routines, as do all professional performers. A singer will usually study the full score in detail, and often a piano reduction too.
The script from an opera is called "libretto". An opera is the most complete of all musical works in my modest opinion, once require not only the orchestra's performance and the singers and their prepared voices but also their interpretation of the "libretto". So the singers performs like actors in a play which is very often a dramatic history. Listen to Madame Butterfly for example.
Opera singers all sing all kinds of operas. There are no special terms for singers of comic operas.
Harmony
Yes, all the time.

true
Some are, some aren't. Opera singers come from all countries. Of the Three Tenors, Luciano Pavarotti was the only Italian; Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo are Spanish. Renee Fleming is American.
Yes, all the characters sing the songs.
Get Pro Tools. All the crappy singers with big record labels use it.
Only if they carry all their music around in trunks.

Hah, no. Dragons are terrible singers. Their vocal cords aren't developed enough to sing. But they can whistle.
Yes. They all sing their own songs but some are not like official singers with albums out and everything.
