Yes, Adam took opera lessons for a year in his teens. (He's mentioned it in several interviews. the one I remember is in Chicago at a radio promo. He also said it to Angelina when she introduced herself to him and told him she was an opera singer.) He has performed light opera. He did opera-style in The Three Waiters, which was a play on The Three Tenors and did the same type of songs. Hearing Adam's early work in musicals, I have no doubt that he COULD sign opera. He has the voice and the technical background. Yes, he would need coaching, but, it is definitely within his vocal type and skill level.
Do I think there is a snowballs' chance in hell we will hear that? Not even in a psychedelic dream sequence. But, it would be divine!

I do not think this is likely. Adam does not have the training to sing an operatic composition - and it make no sense for him to do it from a promotional standpoint. He could sing a musical theater piece but not sure how that fits into his storyline. The Glee song selections tend to be either current pop hits that are worked into the storyline or songs that fit into the storyline. .....
I have no idea what Adam's secret is, but he did have a year of opera training. I post a the link as soon as I can remember it. I guess it is a matter of opinion -- I love opera, and although I think Adam can hit the required notes and has the power and some of the techniques, he does not have the training that proficiency requires -- and based upon his interview in the LA Times moved on to perfect a more contemporary pop-rock singing style. Adam does beautifully with operatic-style theatrical singing (Brigadoon, WRWLF) but I have never hear audio of him singing a operatic composition. Have I missed this? Brigadoon is classified by some as "light opera" but it is not opera, and that is a musical theater term. In the opera world, "light opera" usually refers to a "comic opera", but that is related to the plot, not the singing style. For comparison - Pavoarotti has 7 years of vocal study followed by 6 years of advanced study in opera starting when he was 19, and continued to study as his career progressed. I do not have deep knowledge of vocal technique and maybe I am wrong about this -- I am just an Italian opera fan -- so please feel free to correct me. ETA: Cassie, I agree with you "snowballs chance in hell" it will happen but do you think Adam's one year of classical voice training would allow him to sing an aria without a lot of work and coaching? And what would be really suitable for his voice? [And yes, I would love to hear this, too.] |

Here is some of what Angelina Kalahari wrote about Adam...pretty much answered the question of capacity and part of the technique question I asked but not completely. "He recognizes that what make his voice sound like music are the long unbroken lines (legato lines) that he sings, on elongated open vowel sounds, which is already difficult enough to master. But what makes him so astonishing and absolutely unique in today’s pop music industry, is that he sings with an opera singer’s technique, in that he sings not only these long lines in the music, he does so also with the lyrics, tying one word to the next, whilst still having absolute clarity of diction and tone. This is a very difficult skill to learn, even for operatic singers, many of whom can do one but not the other and if they do both, you can’t understand what they’re singing. It is a further testament to Adam’s understanding of the music of his voice, and of his dedication to his instrument. And it is this, primarily, which makes us, the audience, experience the ‘wall of sound’ effect he presents to us, and that’s why often, it seems as though he doesn’t need any accompaniment; that his voice is music enough on its own – which it is!"
