  • Voice Types in Opera
    Voice Types in Opera In many of Central City Opera’s educational programs, we spend some time explaining the different voice types – and therefore character types – in opera. Usually in opera, a voice type (soprano, mezzo soprano, tenor, baritone, or bass) has as much to do with the SOUND as with the CHARACTER that the singer portrays. Composers will assign different voice types to characters so that there is a wide variety of vocal colors onstage to give the audience more information about the characters in the story. SOPRANO: “Sopranos get to be the heroine or the princess or the opera star.” – Eureka Street* “Sopranos always get to play the smart, sophisticated, sweet and supreme characters!” – The Great Opera Mix-up* A soprano is a woman’s voice type. There are many different kinds of sopranos within the general category: coloratura, lyric, and spinto are a few. Coloratura soprano: Diana Damrau as The Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute (Mozart): https://youtu.be/dpVV9jShEzU Lyric soprano: Mirella Freni as Mimi in La bohème (Puccini): https://youtu.be/yTagFD_pkNo Spinto soprano: Leontyne Price as Aida in Aida (Verdi): https://youtu.be/IaV6sqFUTQ4?t=1m10s MEZZO SOPRANO: “There are also mezzos with a lower, more exciting woman’s voice…We get to be magical or mythical characters and sometimes… we get to be boys.” – Eureka Street “Mezzos play magnificent, magical, mysterious, and miffed characters.” – The Great Opera Mix-up A mezzo soprano is a woman’s voice type. Just like with sopranos, there are different kinds of mezzo sopranos: coloratura, lyric, and dramatic.

  • Wolfgang Sawallisch Wolfgang Sawallisch
    WOLFGANG SAWALLISCH Conductor Laureate Wolfgang Sawallisch became conductor laureate of The Philadelphia Orchestra in September 2003, following the culmination of his celebrated, decade-long tenure as the Orchestra’s sixth music director. Acclaimed as one of the greatest living exponents of the Germanic musical tradition, Mr. Sawallisch enriched and expanded upon the Orchestra’s century-old tradition of excellence, leaving an enduring legacy of artistic achievements with the ensemble. As music director, Mr. Sawallisch encouraged the exploration of new ways to present music to American audiences. In April 1997 he led the Philadelphians in the first live internet concert “cybercast” made by a major American orchestra, attracting listeners from more than 40 countries around the world. He presented season-long focuses on the works of Schumann, Haydn, Beethoven, and Brahms, and an ongoing overview of the works of Richard Strauss (including a concert presentation of the opera Ariadne auf Naxos ). Through a series of commissions, Mr. Sawallisch re-affirmed the Orchestra’s commitment to new music; and his vision for the Orchestra’s 100th Anniversary Season in 1999-2000, made up exclusively of music written since the ensemble’s creation in 1900, resulted in record ticket sales and critical praise. During his tenure, Mr. Sawallisch led The Philadelphia Orchestra each year in concerts outside Philadelphia, helping to build upon the ensemble’s long tradition of touring. He appeared annually with the Orchestra in a series of concerts at Carnegie Hall and conducted the Orchestra in major concert halls throughout the world on eight international tours (three to Europe, four to Asia, and one to Central and South America).

  • Composing for Classical Voice Voice Types/Fach System
    Composing for Classical Voice Alexandra Smither A healthy relationship between composer and singer is essential for the creation of new song. Like all good relationships, communication is key. Through this brief talk, I hope to give you some tools, some language you can use as common ground when working together. Remember, we are all individuals with insecurities and vulnerabilities and our art made together should lean on strengths. Being in the room with someone means they are making themselves available to you: this goes both ways, so do what you can to elevate them in the way that they see fit. Composers, remember that to be a singer is to be an athlete. If we are protective of our ​ voices, it’s because we are only given one and it is very delicate. Additionally, the opera world is not kind. Many singers are constantly dealing with rejection and commentary, not just on how they sound, but on how they look and who they are. Remember this, be compassionate, choose your words wisely and kindly. Your singer will appreciate it and will sing all the better for it. Singers, take the time to think about your voice and singing. What do you love to sing? ​ What sounds do you like, even outside singing? How does your voice work? Share this information joyfully and without shame - the music being written will reflect it more the more you talk about it. Be willing to try things in ways that are healthy and sustainable for your body. Embrace your individual identity as singer, person, and artist.

    two, three,” someone hollered. “You should go up there, Joyce,” Tami Swope McDonald, DiDonato’s old roommate, who is a pianist at a local church, said. “Give them a master class in karaoke technique,” Mike Folsom, a Web designer who plays in country bands, added. “Should I?” DiDonato asked. “I could do a killer ‘Desperado.’ ” She applied an operatic timbre: “Desss-pehr-ah-do.” Her friends urged her on. “Oh, no,” she said, putting a hand to her throat and assuming a fragile-diva air. “I must rest the voice.” The conversation meandered from Renaissance polyphony to the Wichita State basketball team, the Shockers, who had recently reached the Final Four. DiDonato said, authoritatively, “If the game had ended #ve minutes earlier, we would have won.” She had checked March Madness scores on the Internet after her “Drama Queens” performances. The concert ’s title plays with the stereotype of the diva as an affected, tempestuous creature. This does not describe DiDonato. The adjectives “cheery,” “upbeat,” and “down-to-earth” follow her around in the press; it’s often mentioned that she once dreamed of being a backup singer for Billy Joel. But there’s a sly, self-aware edge to her enthusiasm. Her conversation is mercurial, with personae "itting in and out: the Country Gal (“Ahm not soundin’ very erudite today”), the Airy Diva (“How glad I am that we had these few stolen moments”), the Young Person (“Um, oh, my God, Rossini is, like, amazing?”). She is ambitious, impatient with routine, and unintimidated by conductors and directors who condescend to her.
