Which should I major in Musical Theater or Voice/Opera?

Question

I love to sing. It's one of my passions, but I don't know exactly what I want to do with my singing. I would choose Musical Theater but I can't dance and I know it is stiff competition and dancing is BIG. What should I do? (By the way, I want to be on stage).

Answer 1

If given the choice major in Voice/Opera.  If you can succeed in Opera you will have no problem doing Broadway musicals.  Many of the roles require an operatic voice.  

Answer 2

Competition is in Opera as well as Musical theatre, so it's a lose/lose in that category.

I'm going though the same exact thing. College is in two years for me, and I don't know whether to continue on in musical theatre or start up the Opera thing (in which I've already started a little bit).

One thing to consider: Opera has language barriers.
