The discussion of Tenors/Baritones etc...brings me to ask this question: What exactly is the difference between a soubrette and a coloratura? I thought that the term "soubrette" referred to a specific type of role, not a voice type. However, Richard Miller, in his book TRAINING SOPRANOS lumps soubrettes and coloraturas into one group. Does soubrette -as-a-voice-type refer to a coloratura voice without the stratospheric notes?
Wondering, Leslie
