An 'aria' -- literally "air" in Italian, meaning song or melody. This would be the most direct answer, but others are a possibility: "arioso", recitative, or the pairing of a "cavatina" and "cabaletto" which together form an entire "scena" (scene) for a singer.

Many Opera terms are in Italian, or derived from Italian, due to the importance of the Italians in music during the 15th and 16th centuries. The first Opera is often thought to be L'Orfeo by Claudio Monteverde .

An opera soloist is usually referred to according to his or her vocal range, i.e., soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, baritone, bass. The leading lady (usually a soprano) may be referred to as the prima donna and the hero (nearly always a tenor) as the primo tenore. Prima Donnas are sometimes referred to as "divas."
