Help me here - What wine would you think best represents the Lyric Soprano voice? - Email to 'This is Opera.' |
Lyric soprano--a female voice that is 'silkier' in texture or quality and has a lower range than the coloratura. The role of Micaëla in Carmen is a lyric soprano, as is Pamina in The Magic Flute and, although a bit more demanding, Mimì in La bohème. Heavier lyric roles might include Gounod's Juliette or Marguerite in Faust, Rusalka, the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro and Violetta in La traviata, although the latter role makes great demands in terms of both coloratura and dramatic heft. |
