Dear Vocalistmates,
Hopefully, this is an easy question for the list. I went to a local
production of Puccini's "Boheme" last weekend. I was really impressed by
the young soprano in the role of Musetta. But as I listened,I wondered
what Musetta might sound like if sung by a more sultry voice, such as a
lyric mezzo. My companion, a coluratura soprano, insists that the role
calls for a lyric coluratura soprano, only, and could not be filled by a
lyric mezzo. But I am still wondering. What do you all think? Could
"Musetta" be sung by a lyric mezzo? Has it been done?
Thanks,
GWendel, dT
