Sung-through (also through-sung) refers to a musical or opera with no spoken dialogue, except perhaps for some occasional lines included in some part of a song (but never as stand-alone dialogue).[1] Conversations, speeches, and musings are communicated musically though a combination of recitative, aria, and arioso.
