Is it possible to become an opera singer without attending a conservatory?

It is possible, but highly unlikely. An untrained voice cannot become an opera singer. Depending on the talent and the natural voice of the trainee, and guidance from a private teacher, it is possible to gain experience in community or college opera programs.

Even major opera stars continue study with and assistance from vocal coaches.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
