No, you don't because singing comes from the heart, not education so don't let anyone tell you that you need an education to sing, especially when it is Opera. You will need a good vocal teacher and couch though to teach you how to use your instrument properly. Also, there any many muscles like: diaphragm, back, posture too. This takes an expert to show you how to accomplish this.

The Opera house is just special because it has such amazing and unique architecture which has made it become symbol of Australia, kind of like the Old Man in the Mountain is a symbol of New Hampshire.
