As for as singing Opera music......?!


Question: is concerned? Is it true that one could make it if he/she was thirty or so. My voice teacher told me that I had a chance of singing opera even at my age. He also said, "because I was a tenor, I had a realistic chance." If anyone on this site sings opera, or is informative about it, I would like to hear from you.

Tenors are sought after by all directors. If it's something you're seriously considering, go for it!!!!!!!!
Do you have experience performing, or singing with others? Can you read music? Opera is wonderful and fabulous. I'm a high alto/mezzo-soprano, and performed many operatic productions with the university Lyric Opera Theater. A college or university might be an excellent place to start if you want to learn more about performing, reading music, singing with others, and anyone of any age can enroll and take classes.
Another incredible thing about being a tenor, there are never enough of them. You could probably easily audition for the college or university music scholarship.
Good luck, I know you'll enjoy every minute of it :)

Most male voices don't really hit their stride until the late 20s or early 30s. However, most singers have had years of training by then, so when their voice has matured, their minds are ready to use that physical talent. I wouldn't count on a superstar career starting as late as you are, but it would be very possible for you to get an ensemble job at an opera house, singing in the chorus with occasional featured roles. Depending on where you live, you probably won't be able to sustain a career this way -- you'll need to supplement with other gigs or teaching on the side.

Many Opera singers started late, don't let anyone tell you its too late. Many opera stars had other careers before the became professional singers. While some singers are very well trained but some tenors are more natural and sing from their gut. The popular tenor Roberto Alagna, who had a very successful season at the Metropolitan Opera this tear, is an example of a semi-trained singer. Go for it.

I would agree with your teacher at least in one respect: "-----as a tenor, I had a realistic chance".

But should you enter upon such a career, realistically, you shouldn't respect to achieve "superstar" status. One of the above responders outlined a realistic, achievable objective: a member of a chorus, with maybe an occasional individual, part role.

And I think I need not point out, that the vast majority of the operatic repertoire are written in foreign languages; you would have to study and learn these: a long, arduous process.

Good luck in your choice,

Alberich
