<< As a young dramatic soprano myself, I sang lyric soprano and a few mezzo arias until I was mature enough to tackle the dramatic soprano repertory. I even used a few coloratura arias as vocalises to help my flexi- bility and my high range. Don't be in a hurry to be a dramatic soprano... there is plenty of time. >>
A dramatic soprano friend of mine, who sings big Verdi roles (Abagaille and Aida for example) in international houses, was singing lyric coloratura repertoire all through her 20s.
