Bel canto (italiensk for 'vakker song') er eit musikkuttrykk som viser til kunsten og teorien bak songteknikk som oppstod i Italia mot slutten av 1500-talet og nådde høgdepunktet sitt tidleg på 1800-talet. Han viser til eit ideal der ei ekspressiv og fleksibel røyst blir brukt til å uttrykka vene klangfargar. Rossini, Bellini og Donizetti er dei best kjende eksponentane for denne stilarten. Dei tidlege operaene til Verdi kan også reknast til stilen.[1]
