My my, the leaps are a-leaping!
Singing opera or lieder or other art songs is just a technique that uses the entire torso to produce the sound. Anyone can be taught. Not anyone, once taught, will have a voice you want to hear. I don't know if Mariah Carey, Charlotte Church, or Hayley Westenra (had to look that one up) would sound good as opera singers, and I don't care.
There are so many great opera singers today it's a shame so many go through their entire lives avoiding opera houses. Family Circle seats at the Met are mostly $30 and the sound is terrific up there. (Bring binoculars.)
The unamplified human voice is the greatest instrument ever. Go hear it at its best.
