What are some of the difficulties in singing an opera?

I know it is a really obvious answer, but I just want to see how much we should appreciate those opera singers! I would specifically like to know what makes it more difficult than musicals. Every spring, so many schools have a musical, but I have never heard of them having an opera. I know part of it is because it is a different language and it is hard to understand. What are some of the easier operas (if there are any)? I mean, not every role as singing The Queen of the Night.

If you had people singing more opera in schools they'd all sound like Andrea Bocelli or Paul Potts. Yukk!

The reason you do not hear a school presenting an opera is that opera is a profession that best suits a mature artist. Voices do not mature until a person is in his / her early 20's at the earliest, and usually later, although there are exceptions. It depends upon the artist and how together he / she is.
Certainly, endurance is an issue, not only for the musicians onstage, but for the musicians in the orchestra. Musicals generally have breaks in the music for spoken dialogue, giving all the musicians a rest. It takes training to be able to maintain physical and mental endurance to perform a long opera.

Vocal range in operas is generally great than in musicals. This takes takes a level of training that most high school, and even some college music majors have not reached yet.
