I now this is old, but bare in mind also that there are a number of English operas and many translations of other operas at this point. Either way, this doesn't ness. mean that opera is souly a a specific language. though this doesn't prevent operas for being made for those languages or others, IA herself is basically a opera style in much respects. A lot of it boils down to the fact the great opera writers were mostly from those countries, at the time the English scene was either just using the europeon operas or were not as interested in opera. So few could afford it in England and at the time were different in culture that it never really took off. Since europeons outnumbered the English at the time and had more of a market as well, it was generally accepted that artisans of any form of cultural art background had to leave England and traverse Europe to see a different culture. And in addition, also at the time a lot of europeons were being emoployed to do work in England anyway. For example... The sea walls that protect a island off the coast of Essex called "Canvey Island", were ade by the dutch at some point in its history.

English culture didn't really gain ground again until the 1800s, and we were more focused on building empires by then then were were most other things I think and dealingwith the consequences of said empire... And those like America who took a long time to establish didn't really get anywhere until WW1 and WW2 as thats when the fighting caused many cultural influential figures to flee europe and seek salvation in America. During the 1800s, culture finally took off on a large scale again but this was due to the industrial age taking over. So the fault of why these things are largely absent for a long time in English culture is just either the acceptance of other cultures as a fashion or because we just didn't really care about it enough, or because we couldn't at the time due to politics.

It really comes down to the fact out of the europeon countries... If not for the Empire building English wouldn't really be that dominate in the world. Then again, its only because of this English continues to grow as a language.

Either way... I wouldn't say "no" to a opera singer from Italian vocaloid or something... Its supposedly one of the next 3 languages on Yamaha's list to get involved in. :-/
