It is just the physical opening of your instrument, from the bottom to the
top. Most people start with the opening of the throat. The process of
training classical singing is basically expanding your awareness of singing
being centered around the mouth to eventually involving your whole body, from
your feet on the floor (appoggio) to the top of your head. The open column is
merely the sensation (and physical reality) of your instrument being fully
open, enough to sustain the enormous amount of chest and head you are pouring
through it to get that large, "educated shouting", operatic sound.
