Opera singer refers to a professional vocalist who performs opera. Opera is a form of theater in which music is a fundamental component and drama is communicated through singing, in a scenic setting. Opera singers are trained to use their voices in a specific way, known as operatic singing, which emphasizes projection, resonance, and a wide vocal range. This technique allows them to be heard over a full orchestra without the use of amplification.

The training for an opera singer is rigorous and typically begins at a young age. It involves extensive vocal coaching, music theory, and acting classes. Many opera singers pursue formal education at conservatories or universities with strong music programs. They study different vocal types, such as soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, baritone, and bass, each with its own set of characteristics and repertoire.

Opera singers perform in a variety of venues, from grand opera houses to smaller theaters. They often join opera companies or work as independent artists, auditioning for roles in different productions. The repertoire of an opera singer can span centuries of operatic history, from the Baroque period to contemporary works. Beyond performance, some opera singers also engage in teaching, inspiring the next generation of vocal artists. The career of an opera singer requires dedication, discipline, and a deep passion for the art form.
