What is the technical musical term for singing and sobbing at the same time? Can I say singhiozzio?

I was not aware; this would be used in opera, but I don't consider operas written after 1805. :-)– egreg ♦Mar 3 at 14:42

The usual way would be with a gerund, like crescendo or diminuendo.
So my bet is on singhiozzando, which seems to be confirmed in Rigoletto
