Day in the life of an OPERA SINGER!

[@YaelEnder]

I’m a 16 y.o beginner classical/opera singer and this video showed me exactly how I dream my life will look like in a few years, this was so inspiring❤️

[@operaanna]

Aw, thank you! I hope to make another DITL now that I'm graduated, so hopefully that helps too ❤ I really hope I can give some perspective on things, so I'm glad you liked the video!

[@sarahk5708]

As someone who is studying opera, you DO NOT want me to sing with a microphone! My choir teacher moved me from soprano 1 to Alto 1 in the choir because as he said "it was just better for everyone".

[@rodgerraubach2753]

I am NOT an opera singer--or any kind of singer--but I fully appreciate your efforts and lifestyle required to achieve your dreams and goals! I wish you well, and hope that you will be singing in Wien this coming August when I will be visiting.

[@operaanna]

Thank you for your comment!! I don't have plans to be in Vienna for the foreseeable future... Come to Holland? 😜

[@natalienarito9683]

You have such a beautiful voice! I just started doing Opera lessons and love how you shared so much knowledge. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@operaanna]

Thank you, Natalie! Glad you enjoyed :) Hope you're enjoying lessons!

[@IceBathQueen]

Hello dear, I just found your vlog and it's inspiring ! I am opera singer too, dramatic mezzo, and I think it's important to show everyone how much work we put into it every single day ! kisses from Berlin !

[@heynegreta]

Thanks for the insight and a view into your busy day Anna, so miss that view beside the Amstel (hope that's where it was!), look forward to the next episode...

[@etptetptetptgygjgdgv]

i’m going into my junior year of high school and am thinking of opera . i just had the idea to look up a day in the life and this is amazing! i’m so happy you made these videos !!!!!!

[@katethemezzo]

I had no idea what I was going to do with my life when I got to my senior year of high school, so I decided to major in music😭took me five years but I’m just now graduating and getting a free ride for a masters in vocal performance in Arkansas. You can do it!! You can do anything you want to. Even with everyone I’ve gone to school with settling with teaching, I decided I want to do what I love; keep singing.

[@etptetptetptgygjgdgv]

@@katethemezzo omg congrats !! a lot of people have told me to go into teaching but i know i want to perform if opera is what i’m called to do . keep on singing for sure , thats absolutely great !!

[@jackienoonpie]

wow Anna, thanks for opening up my eyes, ears, mind to the world of Opera.

[@russellbaston974]

Love your channel! A really fresh informative and entertaining approach to Opera.

[@operaanna]

Thank you!!

[@jackienoonpie]

Love it so much. I want to know much, much more. Can't wait to see the next episode.

[@operaanna]

You're the best Jacinta!

[@freshtomatoes2455]

AHHH I loved this!! You are so inspiring. I sing classical music and musical theatre but I love learning about opera as well. Please create more content like this

[@operaanna]

Coming up!! Thank you so much for your comment

[@KwokFong-yk6ti]

Very interesting to learn to sing opera❤🎉😊 Eric Fong

[@operaanna]

Glad you think so! 🥰

[@sarawright9576]

Just found this channel! I’m just starting my second degree in opera performance. And I’m so happy to see a day in the life of someone a few years ahead of me! I just subscribed and am so excited to watch more!

[@operaanna]

Amazing! Happy to have you ❤️

[@Valerie-rd2sy]

Love your videos and your humor. You also have a lovely voice❤️

[@operaanna]

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@archiereece3229]

10:55 i like how you described Cherubino..i saw one production or several where that character would ...ummm go ver the top with his libido..

[@operaanna]

Yeah, it's definitely easy to go over the top, but it's at the risk of discrediting the character as a "simple" archetype, especially knowing what happens next in the trilogy!

[@carmenkavizin]

I love this video-and I LOVE the BOA water bottle 🥰

[@operaanna]

Thank you!! The bottle has been my trusty companion for YEARS 😅

[@heynegreta]

Singing and drama at the same time - oh and no microphone... respect!

[@operaanna]

Opera singers are the whole package!

[@ramin.amintafreshi]

Congratulations a lot Anna, Loved it, This is a fantastic start for your channel..!! Looking forward to the next episodes very much. 😍😍

[@operaanna]

YAY! Thank you so much Ramin!!

[@clairemueller8865]

So well done, AB! xoxo

[@operaanna]

Thanks Claire!! Glad you like it :)

[@thesweetscentofplum]

Why did I just found you, this is a the kind of content that I really love 😭 I'm rrally interested to learn opera and if I may say I'm a bass, I think? Looking forward for your next content, sweetie 🥳

[@operaanna]

Thank you!! I'll try to make more vlogs for you 😍

[@bethanygleonhardt]

What’s the difference between a singing lesson and a lesson with a coach?

[@operaanna]

That's a great question! I'm planning on doing a video series about wtf I'm talking about, cause it's so hard to fit everything into a short video! A singing lesson is mainly about technique and vocal production, while a coach is actually a pianist trained to work with singers on musicality, style, phrasing, etc. They don't (usually) talk about technique, since that's the singing teacher's job.

[@1rsalc]

Very interesting!

[@alejandrobonfil2818]

Awesome work! Really interesting Vlog!

[@operaanna]

Thank you!!

[@jamesmather2839]

Toi toi toi and everything. I've started propagating your lovely channel on Twits.

[@operaanna]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that enormously ❤

[@katethemezzo]

I just got a GA to UARK for an MM in vocal performance, terrified but I really didn’t wanna settle and teach. Still not sure what I want to do with my career, so I’m watching this to see what other people do

[@operaanna]

There are SO many ways to build your own career. The more singers I meet the more I realize that it can be a blessing to have something else besides singing that can give you financial stability and also feed another creative outlet, and it is absolutely not a bad thing to do so. I don't want to have to say yes to every little opportunity that comes my way because I have to and burn out, cause I'm just trying to get by. I know singers that are photographers, financial advisors, piano tuners/restorers, website and graphic designers, and then of course you've got me trying to make something with vlogging! ❤

“Schnell, Anna, schnell (after Alban Berg😜)”

[@ludovico6890]

Okay, I'm hooked. Subscribing. You got me at Mozart.

[@operaanna]

This just made my day! So glad to have you. (Mozart's my secret weapon 😜)

[@ludovico6890]

[@bubblepopelectric199]

love it!

[@operaanna]

Yay!! Thanks Marji! Thanks for watching 😍🥰

[@leviticusvalko5100]

Omg how do you have so few subscribers??? This was great btw!

[@operaanna]

Thank you so much! I've only just started posting videos, so hopefully it'll grow!! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@MyNewEra2012]

......and that's your first video ever?? Wowzzzzaaaah ⭐🤗 good luck with your channel and with your studies. Btw is that Hamburg where you're studying?

[@ganson560]

She studied in Amsterdam.

[@operaanna]

hi! thanks so much

[@ronbusch3359]

This is a great, informative video and you have such a nice, warm voice! I would love to hear you in Rossini, I think it would suit you very well. I have one question: is it very hard to get into the Conservatory of Amsterdam? I am currently studying in Germany and thinking about moving to Amsterdam for a while.

[@operaanna]

Thank you so much! I'm actually working on some Rossini now ❤ In terms of the conservatory, it depends on what department you're auditioning for (Master, Bachelor, Early Music) - they're making a lot of changes, but I think your best bet would be to audition and come to the open day! This year it's on the 15th of January :)

[@heynegreta]

3 mins 33 secs in and hooked, I'll do 4 chunks throughout my working morning - perfect breaks, inspiring already Anna! ...I wonder what's in the NutriBullet?...hmm

[@operaanna]

So glad you're enjoying it!

[@heynegreta]

@@operaanna at last back to watching these episodes! ... its ian btw ;-)

[@santividal9387]

I'm in Spain. I'm 17 years all and I've never had a sing lesson. I'm to affraid to even try studying opera singing and I couldn't even know we're to start to study it...

[@operaanna]

Hey Santi! Any day is a great time to start - I would say look for a teacher who REALLY speaks to you and with whom you feel can bring you where you want to be for the foreseeable future. Start slow and enjoy the journey!

[@anthonyfarao3311]

Hi Anna; I’ve been suggesting 🎉that you listen to Nancy Wilson sing ‘Face it girl it’s over from 1967. How can I beat send you the KZbin video from the old Ed Sulliv🎉show?

[@operaanna]

Hi! Sorry if I missed it! Send it to [e-mail] ❤️

[@flowerjana0656]

7:20 what's the song called?

[@operaanna]

Come nube che fugge dal vento from Agrippina by Handel! There's a link in the description the the recording that i used.

[@flowerjana0656]

Thanks! I just found you recently and I am truly happy to see more classical singing on the internet:) In love with your content!

[@operaanna]

@@flowerjana0656 thank you, that means so much!! More singing from myself hopefully to come soon 🙈

[@rosalinplaat380]

Ben je master student? Je zingt zo goed!!! Ik ga daar ook klassieke zang studeren volgend jaar. Ik kan niet wachten!!!!

[@operaanna]

Wat lief 🥰🥰 Ik ben niet meer Master student maar toen ik deze filmde zeker wel! Heeel veel succes daar!

[@ncumisagarishe2733]

I’m glad to find this . I’m a prospective masters student at the Conservatory of Amsterdam ..originally from South Africa. Do you know where can I get more funding or sponsorship to cover the study costs ? I only got the Holland scholarship of € 5000 ...and nothin else so far . Please advise I’m running out of time already I’m supposed to begin this coming September

[@operaanna]

Hi Ncumisa, I'm sorry I didn't respond to your comment sooner. I unfortunately don't know too much about the funding or scholarship opportunities here. If you haven't had contact with the CvA yet about this issue, that would be my first step. I hope you're able to come! If you are here, let me know, and maybe I can help you get your bearings in Amsterdam.

Thanks Gita! It is indeed really awkward at the beginning! 😂 Especially with people looking at you in the halls...i decided not to care 🤪 workout video will definitely be coming!
