This study delves into the development and application of the Bel canto singing technique through the lens of Italian canzone from the early Romantic period, notably the works of Rossini Bellini, Donizetti. Beginning with examining the definition and origins of Bel Canto, the paper unfolds the nuanced aspects of this technique and its distinctive style. The focus lies in using specific musical compositions to analyse how singers can employ Bel canto techniques to tackle vocal problems inherent in these pieces. Finally, the study acknowledges its limitations and suggests promising avenues for future research.
