Opera/Musical theatre graduate student

I am not knowledgeable on these areas so for my own education, is the voice type and training involved in opera quite different from musical theater? Would it help to decide which direction you want at the grad level? Also the MT people I know are triple threats: dance, acting and singing. Do you dance?

Do you have a private teacher, and what area of performance has that teacher been involved in?

Did you do any musical theater as an undergrad?

Why don’t you want to do theater after 4 years of study?

Sorry for all the questions!

Of course I defer to Bridgenail’s advice above on getting out there to perform, since Bridgenail does know a lot about this area.

I was just curious about how one would approach grad applications for a student like you.
