Bel Canto stands for “beautiful singing” in Italian. It is a style of operatic singing originating in Italian singing of polyphonic (multipart) music and Italian courtly solo singing.
The style began in the late 16th century and was then developed in Italian opera in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th century.
To suit the bel canto style, composers began to write long and sustained vocal lines intended to show off the beauty of the voice.
