Question by chrisfa678: What are some of the difficulties in singing an opera?
I know it’s a really obvious answer, but I just want to see how much we should appreciate this opera singer! I would like to know specifically what makes it more difficult as a musical. Every spring, as many schools have a musical, but I’ve never heard of them with an opera. I know, is a part of it, because it is a different story and it is difficult to understand. What are some of the lighter operas (if any)? I mean, not every role as a singing Queen of the night.

The reason you do not hear a school presenting an opera is that opera is a profession that best suits a mature artist. Voices do not mature until a person is in his / her early 20′s at the earliest, and usually later, although there are exceptions. It depends upon the artist and how together he / she is.

Certainly, endurance is an issue, not only for the musicians onstage, but for the musicians in the orchestra. Musicals generally have breaks in the music for spoken dialogue, giving all the musicians a rest. It takes training to be able to maintain physical and mental endurance to perform a long opera.
Vocal range in operas is generally great than in musicals. This takes takes a level of training that most high school, and even some college music majors have not reached yet.

If you had people singing more opera in schools they’d all sound like Andrea Bocelli or Paul Potts. Yukk!
