It means "beautiful singing." It is a 19th-century name for the Italian singing style that developed from the decorative solo songs advocated by Caccini and Peri around 1600, and emphasizes vocal flexibility, uniformity, and beautiful sound. In particular, arias in Italian opera make full use of bel canto. The Italian singer Pier Francesco Tosi (c. 1653-1732) called for the classical bel canto singing style, which required the mastery of breathing techniques, messa di voce (a singing technique in which the voice is stretched while gradually increasing in strength and then decreasing in strength), legato, ornamentation, and improvisation, but it fell out of use with Gluck's opera reforms.

〈美しい歌〉の意。1600年ころカッチーニやペーリが提唱した装飾的な独唱曲から発展したイタリア歌唱法に対する19世紀の呼称で,声の柔軟性,均一性,美しい響きを重要視したもの。とくにイタリア・オペラのアリアはベル・カントを駆使したものである。古典派のベル・カント唱法としてイタリアの歌手トージPier Francesco Tosi(1653ころ‐1732)は,呼吸法,メッサ・ディ・ボーチェ(声をのばして歌いながら弱い声からしだいに強くし,やがて弱めていく唱法),レガート,装飾法,即興法などの習得を要求しているが,グルックのオペラ改革とともにすたれた。
