Do they have opera's that have teenagers in it?

Question

Iv'e always loved opera, and hope to be one later in life.

But recently, that has changed. I want to sing now. D:

Any opera's that have younger singers in it?

Answer 1

There are plenty of operas that call for young singers in it.  In Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, the character Lauretta (she sings the famous "O mio babbino caro") is supposed to be 16 years old.  Most of the female lead roles call for young women.  The problem is that the voice does not usually fully develop until you're in your late 20s to mid 30s.  Therefore, professional opera companies will not hire you unless you are at least 25+.  There are some exceptions, of course, but this is generally how it goes.  How old are you?  I could suggest some material for you to sing now.
