Indiana is probably the top Opera school in the country - as of a few years ago they were conducting eight fully-staged operas per year. You can google “Voice and Opera B.M.” and find others, and of course, there’s the conservatory route. But be aware that this is not a career path that many people would want to choose. In just about any other field, the 100th-best person in America would be successful, wealth, and secure. The 100th-best opera performer in America may struggle to have a stable career; most serious performers go overseas. You may want to send a Personal Message to “lorelei” if she’s still active on CC. She is a former Vocal Performance faculty member with a daughter who’s an opera performer in Europe. She has warned many times on CC that it’s a career choice that must be made with eyes wide open.
