Cultural Tip
In Italy, the word musical is borrowed from English and stays the same in the plural (i musical). While opera dominates the classical stage, musical theatre has a growing fan base, especially in big cities like Milan and Rome. When speaking to older generations, you might hear “musical” pronounced with an Italian “‑al” ending, but younger speakers often keep the English pronunciation.
