		First of all, it's perfectly possible to be a coloratura mezzo or contralto -- coloratura simply refers to ones ability to sing the kind of florid vocal passages typically found in the works of Rossini and Mozart (as well as other bel canto composers).
		A lyric coloratura soprano, as a "fach", or vocal category, typically sings the roles of Gilda in Verdi's Rigoletto, Olympia in Offenbach's Tales of Hoffman, Norina in Donizetti's Don Pasquale and Zerbinetta in Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos.
		A dramatic coloratura has more heft to the voice, and is the voice type able to sing a number of heavier, florid roles in Mozart, Donizetti, Bellini and Verdi: for example Fiordiligi in Cosi and Constanze in Seraglio.

	Semantic Compositions: Coloratura donnas
		In the previous post, your host had thought he was coining a sardonic reference to an egotistical singer by terming him a "coloratura bass".
		Surprisingly, while there are a few tokens of the phrase floating around, none of the 16 apparently distinct uses of it carried the "prima donna" wisecrack that your host was trying to imply.
		A cursory inspection of the resulting hits suggests that for the most part, "prima donna" is used to mean "leading lady" with no overtones of the hysteria or ego that Webster's calls sense #2 of the phrase.

	Coloratura Sopranos
		Considered one of the most difficult roles in the standard coloratura repertoire, this role from Mozart's Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) really only involves two relatively short arias and an ensemble finale, about a total of 12 minutes on stage.
		But Mozart wrote two of the most treacherous arias for this evil character that contain a total of five high F's (the highest note in the standard repertoire).
		Another reason the role is so difficult is that it really wants a big, dramatic voice to embody the power and rage of the character, yet most sopranos who can sing reliable High F's, have smaller coloratura voices.

		Not showing the strains that were to beset her later, she sang a battery of coloratura arias including the "Caro nome" from Rigoletto, the "Bell Song" from Lakme, the "Polonaise" from Mignon, and the "Mad Scene" from Lucia de Lammermoor.

		This Coloratura Aria set has many famous arias, such as the Queen of the Night's aria from the Magic Flute, Olympia's from Tales of Hoffman, etc. There is a wide variety of languages, including, English, German, French, and Italian.
		Every aria is translated in the beginning, rather than underneath the original text, preserving the composer's intent.
		Most of the songs go up to at least two octaves above middle C, and some even go up to that high F. However, I highly recommend this book for any opera enthusiast or soprano student looking to develop her range.

		Her seamless, and beautiful coloratura, paired with some of the greatest arias of opera along with the masterful insight injected into conducting by Maestro Tullio Serafin.
		Of course, her coloratura may not impress you like Joan Sutherland's amazing Lakme could, but the sheer drama of her voice is enough to make this recording a necessity.
		I hear no problem whatsoever with the trills and runs, no, as she did as Armida she tackles the coloratura with verve, fire and brilliance.
