Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Singing voice synthesis technology is widely used in the entertainment field, and in the medical field, it has attracted attention as a method to reproduce the singing voices of the deceased or patients who have lost their voices. In recent years, research has also been conducted on synthesizing singing voices with more human-like expressions. This paper proposes a system that synthesizes operatic singing voice using arbitrary score with lyrics as a input and the voice of a user who has no experience in opera singing. In our previous work, we proposed a system that synthesizes the user operatic singing voice using DiffSinger, a singing voice synthesis method, Diff-SVC, a singing voice conversion method.
In this paper, we introduce a vowel change estimator and a tempo estimator in DiffSinger to realize a system capable of synthesizing more human-like opera singing.
