Solo. Several persons singing the same part in harmony sing soli.

Basically it is the elaborate song-form of Opera / oratorio for solo voice with instrumental accompaniment. Its nature has changed over the whole history of opera / oratorio and would need a book to cover it.

Yes. And no. Technique is the key to not loosing your singing voice and causing damage to the vocal folds. Vocal rest and (in extreme cases) surgery in the form of removing vocal nodules cures such problems (not good). Vocal nodules are pollups or blisters that can form on the focal folds (chords) due to inproper overuse. Proper singing technique is very difficult to master. Because the act of singing takes on very personal psychological and spiritual connotations, using the body as an instrument is a very delicate, vulnerable, and liberating experience. Muscle memory, posture and breath control are key factors in singing. To not loose ones singing voice it is vital to have a comprehensive understanding of the body: the skeleton, the respiratory system, and the vocal apparatus. Open a book on the human body. Explore Feldenkrais and esp. Alexander Technique to understand how to use your body with maximum efficiently and avoid damaging the voice. Instances of damaging singing inc. a hoarse voice singing, a sore throat and back pain. Think of grounding your feet and raising your head, so as you sing you are being pushed/pulled both down and upwards. Not loosing your voice will take gathering info. from many sources and people of different disciplines. One voice teacher seldom has all of the answers. Lastly, discover your diaphragm. You don't have concious control over your diaphragm, but learning what it does and how you can use it through breathing is vital to good singing technique. After you train your body, you can sing from your heart. Singing is spiritual athletisism.

An aria is a term usually used to describe a musical piece written for a solo voice, with or without accompaniment, most often found in operas.

In opera, an aria is a solo vocal piece - also an "air" or "melody."

My reason for singing is that I love to do it more than anything in the whole wide world! Its so much fun for me! Even though I have to study notes as homework....I love being able to controll my voice in a way that pleases people!!^_^

A wonderful Opera singer is Roberta Peters also: Adela Juana Maria Patti Joan Sutherland - known worldwide as "La Stupenda" would arguably be the world's greatest soprano.

Sarah Brightman is one of the best, if not the best.

Izzy (Isobel Cooper) is also very good.

There are several famous female opera singers today. I would say most Americans have at least heard of Renee Fleming. She is one of the most popular and renowned opera singers today.

Another female opera singer who has become somewhat of an "opera pop icon" is Anna Netrebko, known for her bel canto interpretations.

If you are asking for famous female opera singers of today, I would say those two. I'm not saying they are the best necessarily, but definitely the most popular.

The standard textbook answer is 'Dafne' first performed in 1598 during Carnival at the home of Jacopo Corsi in Florence.

The music was by Corsi and Jacopo Peri to a libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini. It is recognized as such because it was the first of a series of similar pieces that established the form of early 17th century Italian opera. The score does not survive.

Italian opera was a popular form of opera in many European countries.

This is Leslie Garrett, who rose to fame during the 1990s.
