Lyric soprano
As a lyric soprano refers to a specific type of soprano voice. Lyric sopranos have a heavier voice as a soubrette, but lighter than a dramatic and highly dramatic sopranos. The terms light and hard to describe several aspects of vocal physiology, including volume and timbre, agility, volume and capacity.
Lyric Soprano is also a name for a voice type, in which the relevant opera and oratorio roles are summarized. The English term Lyric Soprano refers to a vocal category, which is further subdivided into Germany usually. We distinguish:
- Teen - dramatic soprano (also: soprano lirico spinto, spinto ie pushed ), eg Carl Maria von Weber 's Der Freischütz: Agathe
- Giuseppe Verdi, Otello: Desdemona
- Richard Wagner, Tannhäuser: Elisabeth
- Leoš Janáček Jenufa: Title game
- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, The Magic Flute Pamina
- Albert Lortzingstraße, Undine: Title game
- Giacomo Puccini, La Bohème: Mimi
- Georges Bizet, Carmen: Micaela
- Richard Wagner, Das Rheingold: Wellgunde
The distinction is, as always in such classifications, by no means unique and universal. The subjective ideas of who is a lyric soprano and which parts belong in this compartment, differ enormously and there is often overlap with the adjacent compartments (eg, soubrette, coloratura soprano, dramatic soprano ).
