I'd like to add Rossini's La regata veneziana to my repertoire. The lyrics are printed both in standard Italian as well as in venetian dialect. It seems the venetian version of the lyrics is the original one.
It's very tempting to learn those songs only in standard Italian because it's easier. However, considering the general athmosphere, which those songs convey, I'd like to take the trouble and perform those songs using the original lyrics. Hence, the question is: How do you pronounce venetian dialect?
I've just managed to learn the cyrillic alphabet so I feel capable of learning just anything ;-)
Any advice is appreciated :)
Best regards,
