Cast albums are usually done on a single payout basis, cast members get a week's pay for showing up and recording, something like that -- exceptions are made with big stars, depending on contracts, and so on, who might get more frequent payouts. If something sells really well, there's sometimes a bonus at the 100,000 sales mark. Doesn't happen often.
I don't know how it works with opera recordings. Probably similarly. I imagine Pavarotti-level stars had something in their contracts.

So the cast of "Hamilton" might do better than the average - lol

Posted: 12/6/19 at 3:10pmI’m curious about streaming platforms. I don’t really buy physical albums or even digitally and I mostly use Apple Music and Spotify. Do they still make money for every time an album or track gets streamed?

Streaming platforms must pay per track stream according to contract; there's a minimum per song which of course is then divided between the people who are due royalties from sales [and, now streams].
