How much do u usually earn from becoming an opera/classical singer?

...compared to pop superstars like Britney or Madonna?

What is the usual "pricetag" of a very famous opera singer for a single show?

And how about the album sales? I know it may not sell as much as current popstars but is it still profitable?

Can u earn a lot of money as an opera/classical performer?

I seem to notice there are a lot of classical singers or classically-trained singers who switch to pop music like Charlotte Church or Josh Groban.

p.s: sorry if this question has been asked before!

An A-list opera singer can easily make 100,000+ a night. Then they have to pay a lot of people with that. Your average opera singer gets a good deal less than that. Yes, you can make a lot of money, but nothing like what Madonna gets. Singers like Charlotte Church and Josh Groban are not necessarily famous for their voices. Most of their success would be attributed to the fact that they were able to mimic a mature voice at a very young age. That is why Charlotte Church has pretty much fallen off the radar. Josh Groban is a better singer and is still enjoying a career. But, I wouldn't look for him at the Met any time soon.

As for album sales, that is pretty much just gravy. It may not seem like it when you go to Barnes and Noble, but very few opera singers get recording deals. The record companies pick a few and stick with them. But, I can tell you that Enrico Caruso was the first recording artist to sell 1 million copies.

Does anyone love phantom of the opera(2004)?

i am in love with the 2004 Phantom of the opera i wacth it 5 times a day at least i dont know why its just emo i love gerard butler(phantom) and emma rossum does anyone have pics or videos or anything about it

Does anyone love phantom of the opera(2004)?safari browser

I thought it was okay, but I was looking at it mostly from the musical perspective, so my point of view is a little skewed. If you want my critique on that, I think that Emmy Rossum did a very good job with some hard intervals, the guy who played Raoul was decent, and Gerrard Butler was a disappointment compared to the Michael Crawford vocals. Then again, he was also a very HOT disappointment, so I guess I can't complain too much.

I also thought the costumes were lovely, and the acting was better than I expected, especially from Minnie Driver!

Does anyone love phantom of the opera(2004)?ds browser internet explorer

Its just emo? wow.
Go to yahoo movies and check it out. They have production photos, actor pages, trailers, and much more. Enjoy!
omg i love that movie i have probably seen it like a million time thats a good movie and i agree with you
I love that movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have watched it over a million of times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its one of the best movies on the world!!!!!!!!!
I hate it. I liked "Tommy' by the Who better along with 'The Song Remains the Same' by Led Zeppelin. An oldie but a goodie is 'The Swing and Other Stories' on INXS. There was a very good documentary on Elvis as well as an old one on the history of jazz and swing that I watched recently. Heard the Beastie Boys had a new documentary and live concert coming out.
I think it's fantastic that you have fallen in under the spell of The Phantom :)

I can't say that I "love" it, but I suppose I am spoiled. I have seen the live show, and it's very difficult for the movie to live up to the real experience, especially when the chandelier (sp?) is dropped on the audience and you get to "feel" the music all around you :)

I don't have any pics or videos, but you can check out http://www.thephantomoftheopera.com/ and http://phantomthemovie.warnerbros.com/

Also, if you ever have the opportunity, do go see the live show. It is even more amazing than the movie, I know you'll love it!
I think that is like the best movie ever. i like the main girl's voice alot
I didn`t see it but I do wish to see it some day soon, because I love the idee. It`s original, clasical and slightly morbid.
I think i saw some of that movie.yeah, I did that is really good movie. My mom and I went to New York in August and I saw the play on BroadWay, and let me tell you it was AH-MAZING!!!!! Boy, would i pay to say that again(even though i didn't pay my mom did). When I become an adult i wanna go back and watch that play again. Oh , and to answer your question ,try going to Google , and search them up. Hope this helps.
I thought it was a very good movie. However, I was disappointed with some parts of the movie. I cried in the end.
The best version of Phantom was written by Maury Yeston and Arthur Kopit. It just missed B'way as ALW's play got there just before it did, so it instead did the dinner theater circuit and broke all records. The characters and music are far superior to the Broadway version. The TV version i snot a musical and features Charles Dance in the lead role and the beautiful Teri Polo as Christine. Try to get this one too. You'll love it.
the movie is okay, but the original broadway edition is sooooo much better i love it!! I listen to the original sound track all the time! michael crawfod and sarah brightman are sooo much better (Gerard Butlrer killed it (srry but it is true))
i read about it in a kid's book called "The bailey kids,The Phantom don't drive sport cars"LOL.I learn a lot from The bailey kids books
i dont but i love it!
i thought that movie was okay. i wouldnt go crazy over it!! Emma Rossum she sang good. but i just didnt care for the movie but if u like it thats okay im not going to say dont ever watch it again.
it's an ok movie.
I was thinking I would like it, but the music's too "pop".

Les Mis. kicks Phantom's butt.
my sister loves it too.. she even got the soundtrack of the movie.. i bought her a copy of the movie... she would play and watch them all over again...
Don't even get me started! Omg I am jsut as obsessed as u except I love everything phantom the movie, on stage, music everything! If you go to www.insleephesangtome.com there r some videos people have made taht r phantom based like they take clips from the movie and set them to music. Also if you look up Phantom icons on yahoo image search there are a lot of icons u can use on myspace and IM and stuff.

Permission for the phantom of the opera as a school play?

How does one obtain permission to perform "The Phantom Of The Opera" in a school play? Cost? How long is the process?

Permission for the phantom of the opera as a school play?windows mobile 6

If you're talking about the Andrew Lloyd Webber show, you might contact his company about rights, but it doesn't appear to be available for general production yet.

Permission for the phantom of the opera as a school play?microsoft office 2003 internet explorer

Have you seen that stage show? That is going to get very pricey very quick. Plus its on Broadway so good luck getting scripts and stuff. Most companies that do scripts don't do it for show that are still on Broadway. I think that might even be illegal.
ummm it might be a lot of money cuz all of the stuff.
That would be a REALLY expensive school play. Like crazy expensive. So, uh, good luck.
There are several versions, so I'm not sure which one you're doing, but generally, buying the scripts/scores necessary for cast members, director, crew etc. includes a license to perform. You should go to the Samuel French website (www.samuelfrench.com) and see if they have info or contact one of their reps by phone since they are most likely where you will end up obtaining the scripts anyway and will be able to tell you what your precise costs would be.
You need to contact the theatrical licensing agency that is authorized to negotiate for the ower of Phantom.

If you go to http://www.musicals101.com you can get to a listing of musicals and who to contact.

Unfortunately, you will also discover that Phantom of the Opera is not available.
I'm not sure if you should do Phantom of the Opera. If you did get permission the royalties on just one show would cost tons of money to put on, then the set, props, costumes would cost you an arm and a leg, then you have the special effects, like the falling of the chandelier, etc., for a school play would be too difficult to do. I would recommend doing something like Oklahoma!, My Fair Lady, Showboat, somthing easy and would fit into the school budget.

Why do people prefer Firefox over I.E and Opera.?

Okay here's the deal, I want to know why use Firefox when Both IE7 and Opera have been proven better. Tell me one thing Firefox has that Opera and/or IE7 don't.

Oh and you can't use anything thats been debunked by www.firefoxmyths.com

Off the bat this means no saying it's faster or more secure, or saying that it has less holes or it has add ons while the other two browsers don't. Those are just the most obvious ones I wanted to put out there the rest are on the site. Oh and don't bother saying it has skins that's the least important feature for a browser i'm talking about security and userfriendliness etc.

Why do people prefer Firefox over I.E and Opera.?windows messenger

Let's first go back to WHY FireFox. This is a Mozilla project.

It would be against the law for multiple companies to collaborate to make the same product. The whole idea is the develop a specification that everyone owns. Mozilla is that specification of how a Browser can work. So IE, Opera, Netscape, Sufari and countless other browsers were made to work following that mozilla standard. FireFox is the baseline development of that standard.

Oddly enough, there are many differences between browsers. These are the tiny mistakes that designers make when inventing their own. Of course, Internet Explorer added the ActiveX crap that makes it unique.

It was in 2002 when spyware and adware really started to get RAMPANT on the internet, rendering IE nearly useless. Many Windows Users discovered that FireFox did not have these problems, because ActiveX was the target of many of these problems. But eventually IE caught up, so the importance of FireFox has dwindled. But FireFox made life easier for many Windows oriented people, so they are loyal to the product.

Yes, http://www.FireFoxMyths.com tells the story well. But that does not mean that people would SWITCH.

During the late 90s, each version of internet explorer leaped over the previous version of Netscape. Each version of Netscape leaped over Internet Explorer. Opera gained ground during the IE vs Netscape wars. Even today, there are many Netscape fans.

Hey, many people still hate IE7. It will take some time to grow.

I use IE6 and Firefox at the same time. I still use Firefox to visit unknown websites. It's just a habit.

Good luck and Happy Computing.

Why do people prefer Firefox over I.E and Opera.?microsoft works internet explorer

Well, one big advantage is that FireFox is open source. I don't know a whole lot about Opera, but I do know IE doesn't provide it's source code to everyone. That's a big advantage to developers especially. :)
I use Firefox because it has a lot of handy plugins, displays HTML properly(sites that can't be displayed by FF are coded badly =%26gt; not worth my time).

Also, my copy of IE (version 6) keeps closing quite a few times unexpectedly, which is more than annoying.

As for Opera... I don't like that it doesn't have the option of opening a new window instead of a new tab.

Regarding the fastness issue - to me they're all the same, really. Didn't notice any difference.

Not to mention that it can't interpret HTML properly (I'm a web designer/developer and while it takes me 10 minutes to code a layout for FF and Opera... when it comes to IE compatibility I need an extra hour to make sure it looks mostly the same).
It all depends on one's opinion. Most people find Firefox more user-friendly, more customizable and more robust than IE. Opera does beat Firefox in many respects, but it's not so well known yet and it is also closed-source, thereby not allowing any changes. I myself like Firefox and Opera, but I don't find ANY reason to be fond of IE.
I prefer Opera. It is more secure than Firefox as well as faster.

Also, you can make more adjustments with Opera than you can with IE and Firefox.

I tried Firefox and it was too much like IE.

So, not everyone perfers Firefox over IE and Opera.

Personally, Firefox sucks almost as bad as IE.
Well, it is simple, i use IE6 and Firefox. Neither makes my computer crash, now IE7 what a load of crap. If I go to more that one site at a time, lock up!!!

Never really got into Netscape or Opera. hope that answered your question.
Most of the myths on that web page are pretty ridiculous. First of all, it 'debunks' some random quotes about the market share of Firefox (which doesn't say ANYTHING about the quality of the program), and second: the page starts by saying:

====

Disclaimer - This page is in no way affiliated with Microsoft, Comcast or anyone else.

====

But to illustrate (for example) the Anti-phishing myth, it states:

=====

Myth - "Firefox 2's Phishing Protection is better than Internet Explorer 7"

Reality - "Internet Explorer 7's Phishing Filter finished at the top of 3Sharp's list as most accurate anti-phishing technology, catching nearly 9 out of 10 phishing sites while generating no warning or block errors on the 500 legitimate websites tested." - Source

====

The source it refers to is

====

http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/09...

====

NOTE THE MSDN-PART!! That's a Microsoft site! Not only that, the first line of the second section of the 'proof' that IE7's anti-phishing filter is better reads:

====

To help us answer this question, we asked 3 Sharp LLC to conduct a study of the Phishing Filter in IE7 along with seven other products

===

A study that Microsoft paid for says that IE7 is better than Firefox. Big surprise!! It's very easy to claim a page isn't affiliated to any of those companies mentioned, but it'd be better if it only quoted from sites that aren't affiliated with any of those companies, EITHER.

But to answer your question... Why do I use Firefox?

Because

- it has tabs (IE6 doesn't), and because I like its menu structure better than that of IE7.

- Microsoft is too big a company, it needs competition. For years MS didn't work on IE6, but it shifted back into gear when Firefox was released.

The reason why I don't use Opera? Because at the time when I wanted to get something different than IE6, Opera only offered a free product with annoying ads. Firefox was free, and didn't have ads. Since then, I just never saw a reason to abandon Firefox.
Well i prefer firefox because of the extensions are many which satisfy my needs. Firefox is open source so you can write your own extensions.

Opera on the other hand has less extensions ie opera widgets. But opera is very good when compared on the security side.

IE is very very slow and dont prefer it at all.

Overall i accept that opera and firefox are both good for browsing but am never a fan of IE.
the question is illogical.

Tickets to the phantom of the opera, Where to sit?

I am going to see the Phantom of the opera at Her Majesty鈥檚 theatre in London, Where is the best place to buy tickets to sit鈥?/p>

STALLS,

ROYAL CIRCLE,

UPPER CIRCLE

OR THE BALCONY?

Tickets to the phantom of the opera, Where to sit?windows updates

Not under the chandelier!

Tickets to the phantom of the opera, Where to sit?replacement windows internet explorer

in the bar...
NEAR THE EXIT
When I went we had a seat near the front of either the balcony

or the upper circle and not only were very high above the stage but could not see the front of the stage.
Upper circle on your bottom so people can still see the performance...
Sit in the Royal Circle in the front row. BUT make sure your seats are central as the theatre is quite small and the rows and very arched (does that make sense?) We had seats at the side and missed a couple of bits that happened to the side of the stage.

My daughter saw it and sat in the front stalls. She loved it and felt she had a brilliant view (she also liked being so close to the orchestra) but I know some people don't like being so close to the stage.
If you sit in the Stalls, try to aim to be sitting 5 rows back in the centre, these are called the Producers Seats and will give you the best view in the theatre. The next best would be The Royal Circle, but you would have to be at the very centre front to get the best view.

I hope you enjoy it, I work on the costumes for the show and have seen it countless times...I'll never get bored of it!

This is one for u soap opera fans .?

now don't get me wrong , i like have liked and do like some soap operas .

sometimes does'nt it seem like an unwritten rule for soap opera's that whenever someone starts like a show or a show start getting good , or kind-of realistical , ... that the show has to do something to mess it up . am i right people .

This is one for u soap opera fans .?microsoft money

Isn't that the definition of "soap opera" ?

like dragging the storyline on,or doing something really stuuupid like bringing back the dead. Yeah I know what u mean.
You are beyond right.
they have to add twist to keep up ratings but yes ur correct
Many storyline depend on the actors. If an actor decides to leave the show in the middle of a good storyline. The writers try there best to stay with the original plan. When the recast the actor does not mean they will have the same chemistry as the old actor did.

You watch the shows daily and get familiar with the actors and then all of the sudden it is a new person.
You are exactly right. That's why I watch a couple. Nobody stays happy for very long and then when you think it'll be ok now - wham.....something else happens.
the worst thing is when they drag a story line or kill or mess up someones character. for ex in gh they killed alcazar and he was good. also for dillion when thye ruined his character
Of course there is trouble when things are starting to go well. Things are dull and uninteresting for the general public when couples are happy. Most people like to see conflict. It takes them from their own troubles or humdrum existence and gives them something exciting to watch. It gives people someone or something to root for.
The problem is that the people making the decisions aren't people who watch or even enjoy soaps. They see something on prime time or at a movie and think "Well, that'll work here" but it doesn't always happen that way. They should try reading a few days of Y/A.
