One thing I've also noticed when listening to a lot of Italian singers is
that they don't slavishly adhere to the "open" vs. "closed" vowel rules
when the music demands otherwise. Usually in the upper register, all
vowels tend to be sung open. They might *think* closed, but they
definitely sing open for obvious reasons.

Ist Lohn, der reichlich lohnet.
