Question by Nicolette: How much does a sucsessful opera singer makes?
I am a dramatic coloratura soprano, a lot of what I have read to give is a rather rare voice. I am also a fiction writer. I love both, but where they are both very competative opera seems to be the one that I could get in easily. (I think it is a lot more writers aspiriting then opera singer, and on top of that, much less dramatic coloratura) I will not vote, I plan to do both. I am 23 and am now doing my final school to work. My voice teacher is very stubborn, I could extreamly successful in the world of Oper.Hat know someone that makes a successful opera singer raise?

It depends on what shows you choose. It’s not just being a great opera singer, it’s choosing the right show that will go the furthest. Maybe you can write a story someday and find someone to help you write music and together you can write an amazing opera and perform in it!! Then you would be doing both things that you love and making tons of money!
You can make Good Money singing Opera. Depending on the agent you choose. When your Voice teacher tells you that you are ready to start making career, you will need to find a good agent, many opera houses in these days work directly with the agents.
You could do now Opera competitions, like Placido Domingo’s “OPERALIA” Metropolitan’s Opera House Council “Opera Auditions”. Licia Albenese’s “Puccini Foundation” You can find competitions in any country in America Europe… every where! Competitions are good for more than one reason.
1. Experience
2. Start Meeting people and creating a network
3. Meet other Teachers, Singers, Coaches and agents.
4. Receive Money and maybe some scholarship
Other thing you can do and will help you a lot is to participate in Master Classes and Opera Summer Camps. Good to make contacts.
Good luck in your career!
Instead of doing competitions, if you have are a dramatic coloratura you have an edge on the market because yours is a rare voice type. Try getting involved with a young artist program like Merola in San Francisco.
