Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Opera training is very specific and demanding. Are you in school? If you attend university, you can probably take a sequence of classes for opera; however, the general requirement is that you pursue the general music curriculum. Music conservatories are even better and more focused. If you are most fortunate, it is optimal to study opera in Europe where study is subsidized and singers are worshipped. Particularly in places such as Vienna, Paris, Barcelona, Moscow, Budapest, Milan, Rome and Prague.
