I was just wondering if it is good to sing with vibrato when it comes to holding out musical notes in a classical or opera piece.

Vibrato comes in your voice when your voice is in the right placement. Vibrato comes natural , you don't have to create it.
When the vibrato comes natural in your voice is beautiful and helps to amplify your sound. when you try to make your voice sing with vibrato you will start forcing it and that is not good.
Some people think they sing with vibrato but what they are doing is manipulating the muscles on the throat, literally shaking the muscles, and you can fisically can see their thorats moving up and down fast. That is technically wrong. The natural vibrato is creating when the air hit the resonant cavities in the head.
Some human voices don't have vibrato, even if they are singing with the right voice technique. They are mostly very lyrical voices, they use to sing "Musica Antica" Emma Kirby was an excellent Musica Antica's Singer (Soprano). She did not have any vibrato in her voice.
Opera Singers use to sing with vibrato, as I wrote above, vibrato in Opera singers is natural and is good for the style. Try to Sing "Vissi d'arte" from Puccini with any vibrato and it will sound weird.
when you are vocalizing try to feel your throat is open and your voice is coming forward to your nasal resonance let your voice float natural, do not force it, sing a long ahhhhhh in the middle register, feel it natural, do not push too hard and do not make pressure on your chest and throat and your vibrato will come naturally.

Well a vibrato is supposed to come naturally without your effort. Opera is known for it's long vibrato-y passages, so not only do I say go for it, but it's what is expected.
Just don't sound like a car alarm.

Classical/Opera music generally calls for vibato, so if you can do it properly, you really really should. However, don't use it for choir pieces because everyone's vibrato is different and it sounds awful all together, so in that case go with white notes.

It is the right thing to do if you have been properly trained to do it. Pop music has straight tones, classical..Opera has vibrato. Listen to your recordings and you will hear it.

absolutely not. vibrato is what keeps the music alive. however, it doesnt mean that y ou just use vibrato for the sake of vibrato. you have to shape it so that it sounds natural and musical

as long as you're not forcing it. It should happen naturally, though with training you are able to basically turn it on and off. Training is the important thing with vibrato. You learn how to control it.

No vibrato is fine just don't overuse it and risk sounding like a wavering sheep.

just make sure you can do it and have it sound good. sometimes it sounds bad when people do it when they don't really know how to.
