	Operapaedia - Reference Desk
		Coloratura soprano--a female voice with an 'upper extension' of high notes and a light quality or color which allows the voice to be capable of rapid and highly ornamented passages.
		The range for the dramatic soprano is generally somewhat lower than the lyric or lyric-spinto, but often she is called upon to sing high passages for dramatic emphasis, making these roles quite strenuous for younger singers.
		Coloratura mezzo--these are roles which, while demanding the use of a lower register or part of the voice, are also required to be flexible and capable of singing highly ornamented, rapid passages.

		Soprano Dobbs sounded smooth as cashmere beside the tweedy textures of Tenor Jan Peerce and Baritone Leonard Warren.
		She was nervous at first—her vibrato was fast as a canary's, and she heaved her pretty bosom with each breath, which is not regarded good form—but she stopped the show several times, and the bravos rang out like pistol shots when she finished.
		Soprano Dobbs has traveled as far and fast as her admirers could have hoped, since she bowed at La Scala as Elvira in Rossini's L'ltaliana in Algeri three years ago (TIME, March 16, 1953).

		Edita Gruberova is well-schooled and her voice seems to connect with the orchestra, the music for her scenes and character, and she immerses herself in her roles with real bravura, passion and feeling.

	Lisa Saffer, Soprano (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
		The soprano writing is stratospherically cruel in its tessitura, the intervals in the lines wide-spaced and ragged, yet she consistently managed to take it phrase by phrase rather than note by not.

		"Soprano Lisa Saffer was a dramatically convincing Marie who exhibited from a beautiful but diminutive stature a voice of dazzling and heroic proportions, completely unerring in musicianship and control and note-perfect in every trill.
