Sarah Brightman is classified as a Classical Crossover singer, but can sing opera.
Brightman, in a 2000 interview with People Magazine, dismissed the label as "horrible" but stated she understood the need for categorization.
She actually started her career singing Pop.
The vocal ranges for female opera singers are:
Soprano
Mezzo-soprano
Alto
Sarah has a three-octave vocal range that extends to an E above Soprano C.
David Caddick, a conductor of Phantom, has stated:
"What is amazing about Sarah is that she has two voices, really. She can produce a pop, contemporary sound, but she can also blossom out into a light soprano.
The soprano part of her voice can go up to an E natural above high C. She doesn’t sing it full out, but it is there."
She sometimes deploys both her pop and classical voices in the same song. 'Anytime Anywhere' of Eden is among one of the songs, which is based on Tomaso Albinoni's 'Adagio in G Minor'. In that song, she starts out in an operatic voice, switches to pop voice temporarily, and finishes off with her operatic voice.

Among other things, an opera singer does not need electronic amplification. I have never heard Sarah Brightman sing without a mike, so I can't say whether she has an operatic voice or not.
While she may have an operatic range, to my knowledge she has not sung opera. (BTW, "Phantom of the Opera" is NOT an opera! It is a musical.)

I had to listen to her music all the way from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. It was ok for awhile, but it got old real fast.
