Subject:  Soubrettes vs. Coloraturas


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
