So what is the difference between the two? Why was the bel canto era so influential? What are the hallmarks of the “bel canto style,” and what are some of the iconic roles that have catapulted many a singer to operatic fame? This course delves into the history, the music, the style, and the singing of the bel canto era, exploring the long reaching influence of opera in early 19th-century Italy.
