Opera singers are highly trained professionals with particular talents they've honed since childhood and well into adulthood - it's a VERY unique skillset. True there are many asian singers and actors in Calgary - but how many of them fit the bill for a demanding opera role for a young woman? To say that a performer like Daniel could work as an opera singer is like saying a family doctor could perform open-heart surgery as they're both medical professionals- each job demands a completely different and demanding skillset that is not interchangeable.
