I got an entire book of translated opera choruses says you're wrong. Besides the sub/surtitles, often local translations are given to the actors to make sure that they understand what the original meaning and emotional content of the words.

Also, off the top of my head, the Elton John version of Aida is based off of the Verdi Aida, so there's an Italian opera that was not only translated into English, but was phenomenally successful as such. I suppose German light opera is less ~high class~ than Italian opera, but Bertoldt Brecht's works also seem to be far more popular in English than in German, and there are a few translations of Threepenny that are insanely well-done. (And the Threepenny Opera in itself is an adaptation of a 18th century English ballad opera.)
