…compared to pop superstars like Britney or Madonna?
What is the usual “pricetag” of a very famous opera singer for a single show?
And how about the album sales? I know it may not sell as much as current popstars but is it still profitable?
Can u earn a lot of money as an opera/classical performer?
I seem to notice there are a lot of classical singers or classically-trained singers who switch to pop music like Charlotte Church or Josh Groban.
p.s: sorry if this question has been asked before!

An A-list opera singer can easily make 100,000+ a night. Then they have to pay a lot of people with that. Your average opera singer gets a good deal less than that. Yes, you can make a lot of money, but nothing like what Madonna gets. Singers like Charlotte Church and Josh Groban are not necessarily famous for their voices. Most of their success would be attributed to the fact that they were able to mimic a mature voice at a very young age. That is why Charlotte Church has pretty much fallen off the radar. Josh Groban is a better singer and is still enjoying a career. But, I wouldn’t look for him at the Met any time soon.
As for album sales, that is pretty much just gravy. It may not seem like it when you go to Barnes and Noble, but very few opera singers get recording deals. The record companies pick a few and stick with them. But, I can tell you that Enrico Caruso was the first recording artist to sell 1 million copies.
