Moonhawk Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Say you have a song from an opera, and you want to say "Song" from "Opera", with the 'from' in Italian. How do you do this? Is this correct: "Voi che sapete" da "Le nozze di Figaro" or "Voi che sapete" dalle "Nozze di Figaro" I won't be using quotation marks around the titles, but they will be on separate lines like: Voi che sapete from Le nozze di Figaro Any help would be appreciated, thank you!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 If the opera has "the" as part of the title, it seems to me that your first option would be correct, so as to maintain the full title of the performance. I don't speak Italian, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't speak Italian, however. The French equivalent would be your first version. So that is my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 The first. I think. My Italian is so rusty I can't even read Italo Calvino these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
