Southern California is home to many opera companies. There are dozens of regional companies of varying sizes and specialties. Two of them are recognized in the national and international opera scene: Los Angeles Opera (LA Opera) and San Diego Opera.
When I was 10 years old, I decided that I wanted to be an opera singer. After enjoying singing Broadway tunes and Disney princess songs from a young age, I fell in love with classical vocal music after I started singing simple Italian arias.
