How to Choose Opera Companies
--Types of Opera Companies--
There are several different types of opera companies. These include professional, semi-professional, academic, and amateur opera companies, as well as festivals offering regular programs of opera. Professional opera companies produce elaborate and high-quality opera performances, and are often located in major cities where one would expect to find high culture. Semi-professional opera houses can also produce high quality operas, although you may be able to find semi-professional opera companies in smaller cities or other regions. Many opera performers learn and practice their operatic skills and talents at academic and amateur opera companies.
--What Do Opera Companies Do?--
Opera companies are primarily engaged in the production of opera performances. These performances may be dramatic or comic, although neither form necessarily excludes elements of the other. Often, the music in opera is continuous, with set pieces such as solos, duets, trios, quartets, etc., and choral pieces, all designed to dramatize the action and display the particular vocal skills of the principal singers. Opera singers and the roles they play are typically classified according to their vocal ranges. Male singers are classified by vocal range as bass, bass-baritone, baritone, tenor and countertenor. Female singers are classified by vocal range as contralto, mezzo-soprano and soprano. The characteristics of the opera singer's voice will usually be the determining factor as to the most suitable roles.

Some opera houses might be of historic value and delight visitors with of sophisticated workmanship and décor. Opera can be a dramatic art form with emotional content performed to the audience as music, both vocal and instrumental. The lyrics might be in a foreign language but the music and emotion can still communicate. Opera might be performed in a theater with scenery, costumes and actors. However, the actors might be considered more as singers because the word in an opera is sung with a music ensemble ranging from a small group to a full symphonic orchestra. Opera might also draw on other art forms besides music. The visual arts like painting and sculpture might be used to create a visual spectacle on stage. Singers' vocal ranges and voices might be identified with characteristics other than just vocal range that might classify the roles of singers.
