Maybe TheCaw is to familiar with the English language that the libretto dialog sounds stilted but it doesn’t make sense because regular songs in English are way better than songs in other languages to me but operas not the case
Opera is more about conveying emotion than dialogue. It’s why operas generally come with “books” explaining the plot. When you’re hearing an opera in English, the dialogue is distracting you from the emotion.
While Romance languages tend to be a bit more lyrical than English, I don’t think that’s the primary issue here.
