This was very common at the Paris National Conservatoire not so long ago.
Since voice teachers stay there till they retire, there are certain periods
during which there are very few good teachers (for example if opera was
considered old-fashioned twenty years before and few brilliant people chose
that career). Back then, if you needed the Conservatoire environment and
diploma, but also needed to improve your voice, you needed a second
teacher - that is a real one.
By 2020, there will be another problem: lots of fantastic teachers, but
maybe no interest in opera in young people any more! Who knows? ;-)
