== == 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.
Do all opera singers sing in Latin?
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.
