Classical Music II

[Voronwen]

Not dramatic as in Wagner voices - dramatic COLORATURA!

It's a coloratura voice that has more bite and "ping" and sometimes more range than a typical coloratura. It's not as much about lightness vs. heaviness. I know, it's all confusing!

Miss Silverpeal is considered the lighter role. The point is that both ladies in this show need to have a difference in timbre (and acting-wise, the characters are very different). I think Madame Herz is sung by a lot of different voices though, it depends more on whether the singer in question has the sustained E's and F's.
