There are a few Opera companies which could be considered training grounds for opera singers. Opera America (a national organization of Opera companies and singers) classifies the companies by budget and usually the companies with the smallest budgets tend to hire very young singers, making them automatically "training grounds". Other companies like Dayton Opera pride themselves on finding young talent and giving them a chance. Of course there are various programs where a young singer goes to gain experience. The Chautauqua Institute performs an opera each year with young singers. The Aspen Festival is very famous as well. Glimmerglass Opera Company offers a very interesting program for young singers. Wolf Trap Opera and Central City Opera also tend to use a lot of young talent. For young singers of a certain quality there are also young artist programs. Typically a member of a young artist program maybe asked to sing in the chorus for the company's season and sing a few smaller roles that the young singer is well suited to. In some cases they may even be called upon to act as an understudy for a principal role. Some of the most important programs are: -The Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. The singers cover roles and perform small roles as well as receiving instruction in language, acting and voice from top teachers. The singer also receives funds to live on from the Metropolitan Opera. The singer must win the Metropolitan Operas National Auditions (a competition) or be selected by the company to be a part of the program. -The Houston Grand Opera Studio. The singers cover roles and perform small roles as well as receiving instruction in language, acting and voice from top teachers. The singer also receives funds to live on from the Houston Grand Opera. The HGO Studio also performs a small scale series of opera aside from the main stage. The singer must win the Houston Grand Opera National Auditions (a competition) or be selected by the company to be a part of the program. -The Washington National Opera's Domingo-Cafritz Young Artist Program. The singers cover roles and perform small roles as well as receiving instruction in language, acting and voice from top teachers. The singer also receives funds to live on from the Washington National Opera. The HGO Studio also performs a small scale series of opera aside from the main stage. The singer must be selected by Placdio Domingo to enter to program. -San Francisco Opera's Merola Program. In this 11 week program singers perform often and taken on interesting roles. The learn all aspects needed to refine the career with offerings such as acting, language, stage movement, makeup and stage fighting.Housing and a stipend for living on is provided. The students perform in two fully staged operas during the summer as well as a free concert and a famous performance at the War Memorial Opera House. Many of Merola's alumni are very successful. -Santa Fe Opera Young Artist Program. Over the summer season singers got to work on a stage with the best singers in the world..Housing and a stipend for living on is provided. -Many of the other top American Houses have a young artist program as well, but not so developed as the major ones (Chicago, Cincinnati, Portland and Seattle). Training grounds for opera singers could also be found in the countless schools of music around America. While many of these schools really don't put on a great show, so how could the students learn to really be great performers, some of the top schools do very high quality work. Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music is just about the best. Curtis Institute of Music, the Julliard School and the Eastman School of Music are also excellent. These schools are the best place for singers to train because they offer the most high level of musical instruction and allow singers to perform.

How hard is it to get into an opera?
If you are talking your local community Opera, it would depend on what sort of competition you have. But on a professional scale, I would say hard as hell. Opera singers are the equivalent of a master violinist or trumpeter. Opera singers usually have spent a greater part of their career training classically to obtain their voices. My guess is that most productions such as the Metropolitan Opera have few singers which they rely on for most major roles. Breaking into the scene I'm sure would be a challenge, it would be obtained through a combination of connections and extreme talent.
