Popis
The mezzo-soprano voice, lower than a soprano but higher than a contralto, yet possessing the qualities of both, is notable for a wide vocal range and colour that is especially suitable for operatic roles. It is used to portray characters such as Rossini’s lovestruck heroines or the seductive Carmen. Donizetti’s bel canto lyricism also contrasts sharply with Verdi’s dramatic roles, and when a full-throated mezzo gets her teeth into the dark and thrilling Macbeth, the rewards are immense. With characters ranging from the youthfully ebullient Isabella in Rossini’s L’Italiana in Algeri to the emotionally tortured Amneris in Verdi’s Aida, all of operatic life can be found here.
